Essential Boundaries for Bodyworkers

Boundaries, Balanced Empathy and Self-Care to Prevent Burnout   

In this 6-week course on empathy and emotions, Camilla Jørgensen, a dual-licensed Dynamic Emotional Integration^® Trainer and Consultant, draws on her 20+ years of experience as massage therapist to bring you an empathically-designed experiential course about boundaries, empathy, and self-care for bodyworkers.

Learn how to work with your natural empathy in a healthy and sustainable way by examining the relationship between boundaries and balanced empathy, taking inventories to help you gauge what you’re already good at and where you need more skills, and learning practices to regulate your emotions.

Each week on the live webinar meetings you’ll practice what you learn during the week, like trying out different practices to help regulate emotions, setting boundaries, and improving emotional awareness. Throughout the course, you’ll also combine this knowledge into an individualized self-care plan to help support you long after this course is over. You’ll receive individualized input and guidance from Camilla along the way, and have the opportunity to learn from other students in the group forum and on the weekly live webinars.
