Practitioners are more likely to experience compassion fatigue (often referred to as "burnout") when they are faced with complex patients. Complex patients can be labeled "unmotivated," and patients who are fearful can be seen as "not appropriate for therapy." This course will address all three--burnout, fear, and motivation--with practical applications in each.

Learning Objectives

Develop an approach to fearful patients that maximizes engagement and therapeutic alliance
Develop an approach to welcome an open discussion about fatigue and to educate patients on the nature of fear
Design an approach to patient care that recognizes and minimizes compassion fatigue
