Containing, Pouring and Re-Filling (A CPD-Acredited Webinar on Containing, Regulating and Self-Care with guest Ikigai Yoga and Massage Therapy)

In the caring profession, practitioners are entrusted with the well-being of others, and are often tasked with containing and regulating clients. This 3-hour workshop explores the interdependent concepts of containment, regulation, and self-care as they are related to therapeutic relationships and is centered around the ethical duty of those in the caring profession to practice self-care; a duty that arises from the understanding that an emotionally and physically drained caregiver can neither contain nor regulate.

Through a combination of both theory and practical application, this workshop aims to:

• identify and explore the occupational risks inherent to the caregiving professions (such as secondary trauma, compassion fatigue and burnout);
• identify and explore how the above impact a professional's ability to provide care;
• define and refine the concepts of containment and emotional regulation in the context of the caregiving professions;
• define and refine how both are important for caregivers in their interactions with clients in the caregiving professions;
• and identify and explore a number of practical strategies and techniques for self-regulation, self-care, containment and co-regulation.

Presented by Dominique Rosa Ribeiro, an educational psychologist with a number of years of experience in private practice and the NPO space as well as one of JPCCC's training administrators and facilitators. Ikigai Yoga and Massage Therapy’s Jessica McCallum will also be joining for a meditation session and to share some mindfulness and wellness tips and examples.
