Clinical psychologist and inspirational speaker Maria Sirois names the territory that we are all familiar with - those moments when our work and our very own lives become personally challenging and addresses what is now known in terms of resiliency and our capacities to strengthen ourselves.  In this on-line course, Dr. Sirois explores themes brought forward from the arenas of positive psychology, mind/body approaches, and the integration of spirituality and psychology to create a map of what works for any one of us to deepen our resilience.  Explore pitfalls such as compassion fatigue and boundary confusion that are common to and challenging within the caregiving/therapeutic relationship during times of stress.  Be guided through practical exercises and personal introspection in order to leave this on-line course with strategies, tactics, and inspirational ideas to assist in the difficult times.
