The Power of the Pause: a Self-care Workshop for Givers

---

The Power of the Pause is a restorative continuing education workshop that helps you slow down, reconnect, and reset—without guilt.

This in-person experience is for therapists, healthcare providers, and empaths—Givers who often show up for others but struggle to care for themselves. You’ll learn how to regulate your nervous system, connect with your body, and support your clients from a more grounded, sustainable place.

We’ll use two powerful somatic tools:
✔️ Authentic Movement
✔️ Brainspotting (Gaze Spotting)

This training is designed for:

• Licensed Professional Counselors
   
• Clinical Social Workers
   
• Marriage and Family Therapists
   
• Other licensed mental health and healthcare professionals
   

CE Hours Offered: 3.5 clock hours (NBCC Approved Provider #SP-4999)

By the end of this workshop, you'll be able to:

1. Define Authentic Movement and Brainspotting and describe their therapeutic benefits for mental health professionals.
    
2. Identify at least three signs of burnout or chronic stress within yourself or your professional community.
    
3. Demonstrate one self-guided Brainspotting technique (Gaze Spotting) and one Authentic Movement warm-up for personal use.
    
4. Describe how integrating somatic techniques like these can support emotional regulation, stress recovery, and long-term sustainability in your work.
