Working in Harm Reduction is not without its stresses, because of intense client contact, unusual working conditions, on-the-job pressures, grief and loss, and other reasons. Being able to give to ourselves, and then to each other as co-workers, is essential in engendering emotional and mental health. In this workshop we identify good sources of renewal, and learn self-hypnosis as a tool for change. Group hypnosis is also offered, with great suggestions for relaxation, self-appreciation, and renewal. Through lecture, discussion, small group work, and exercises we explore methods for avoiding burnout in the first place, bouncing back from burnout, building stress-reduction into our workday and into our leisure time. We explore interactions which could have gone better from our work-life, and actually bring healing energy to our own past, letting it move forward nourishing us in the present and setting new healthy patterns for the future. At the end of this workshop we will feel that we've had a nice vacation, in a way, and things will get easier for us.
