Description

Do you often feel overwhelmed by the expectations of others?

In this seminar, you will learn how to find a balance between empathy and self-care and set clear, respectful boundaries. Through valuable insights into your values, motivating reflections, and effective techniques such as “The Work” by Katie Byron, you will learn to take your needs seriously and develop stress management strategies.

Those who always want to meet the expectations and demands of others will eventually reach their own limits. This is especially true for people working in healthcare, nursing, and social professions, who are often confronted with challenging situations that repeatedly raise questions about appropriate closeness and distance, communicating a clear but friendly “no,” and balancing empathy with self-care.

The goal of the seminar is to become aware of your own boundaries and communicate them respectfully.
