OT Self-Care: Mindfulness, Stress Management, and Wellness in Daily Life (Member Discounted Price)

Occupational therapists spend much of their time supporting the health and well-being of others, but caring for themselves can be challenging amid the demands of work and daily life. Workplace demands, occupational imbalance, and situations that conflict with professional values can contribute to stress, burnout, and moral injury. Developing a personal approach to wellness can help reduce stress and anxiety, manage symptoms of burnout, support overall health, illness prevention and recovery, and promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

In this interactive class, you will learn and experience practical ways to support your wellness through mindfulness, relaxation, stress management, and everyday self-care. Guided experiences will include breathwork, progressive relaxation, mindfulness meditation, guided imagery, and self-compassion. These practices can also help you connect with your intuition, increase self-awareness, recognize your needs, and make choices that support your health and occupational balance. You will explore ways to incorporate these practices into daily activities, recognize sources of stress and occupational imbalance, and make realistic adjustments to support your well-being. You will have the opportunity to explore a wellness inventory and begin developing a personalized self-care and wellness plan, while considering how these strategies may also benefit your clients. Drawing from Intuitive Development, a book by Emmy Vadnais, and her 30 years of experience as an occupational therapist, this class offers practical tools to support your personal and professional well-being.
