Working with clients who are traumatized and/or grieving is challenging. It requires that we remain connected and engaged as we hear stories of loss and pain and horror. We witness our clients in states of abject fear, red-hot anger and soul-crushing grief. Most times we are trapped in our office chairs and are compelled to witness and absorb this pain being experienced right in front of us. That obviously is going to cause problems for us clinicians, right? You cannot listen to and absorb trauma throughout your career without getting sick from it, right? Not necessarily. Join Dr. Gentry—an international expert on the treatment and prevention of compassion fatigue—in a hope-filled look at Forward-Facing® Professional Resilience. Born from over 20 years of research and development, FFPR provides a pathway for professional maturation that both resolves and prevents the deleterious effects of work-related stress including secondary traumatic stress and burnout. The five simple resilience skills of FFPR have demonstrated effectiveness in significantly lessening compassion fatigue symptoms while enhancing resilience and professional quality of life. These results have been published in 12 peer-reviewed articles with multiple populations of professional and volunteer care providers.
