FLOURISH RETREATS
RETREATS TO NOURISH THE THERAPISTS SOUL
next retreat: Saturday 25th September 2021
SELF CARE FOR THERAPISTS
Whether you are a counsellor, psychotherapist, coach, hypnotherapist, massage therapist, acupuncturist, reflexologist, reiki master, yoga or mindfulness teacher, chiropractor - or any other type of therapist for that matter - it's vital to look after yourself. Self care simply isn’t a haphazard set of distractions between seeing clients (although on some days you might feel like it is!)
There is a high risk of burn out as we listen to, support and help to heal the physical, emotional and psychological needs of body, mind and soul. Good self care, specific to our therapeutic work, is essential to remaining effective and healthy as practitioners and as entrepreneurs. It can be lonely out there.
We have all heard the expression, 'you can't pour from an empty cup'. Professional self care shows in the habits and routines that you use to keep a healthy separation between personal and professional work. This might include setting boundaries, having restorative activities and fun in your life, as well as connecting with others who understand.
Flourish Retreats give you the opportunity to explore what you can do to ensure that you are present with your clients or patients, and at the same time remain at peace within yourself.
ABOUT FLOURISH RETREATS
As fellow therapists, we understand the emotional demands of a giving profession and have lovingly crafted a retreat specifically for Counsellors/Psychotherapists, Coaches and Holistic Wellbeing Practitioners. If you're in a helping profession, this retreat is for you!
Working one to one, giving your energy to others, there may be times where you feel isolated. Our retreats will give you the space to reconnect with yourself and come together with a small group (no more than 12) of other like-minded people - and have fun too!
Flourish Retreats offer the space to connect openly, creatively and safely to nourish your soul.
YOUR NOURISHERS
Independently, we have a wealth of experience of working intensively one to one with clients, and in designing and delivering developmental training and workshops.
Collaboratively, we know that we can benefit therapists and empathic givers through facilitating an enriching experience that will allow you to flourish.
