Session 4 - Caring for yourself whilst caring for others, boundaries for self-care
It can be super challenging to make sure you also look after your own needs when you have to care for others. It can be hard to set boundaries without feeing bad or guilty. It is all to easy to fall into overwhelm, shut-down, or to act out of a sense of obligation, but then only feel resentful.
In this session you will learn to communicate more effectively, and to set limits when you need to. You will learn to give from good will more than from obligation. This in and of itself supports your own self-care. We will learn exercises that support good boundaries and prevent overwhelm.
Foundations of Self-care is a five-session series of weekly talks with Ruth Friedman and proposed by Cancer Support Group asbl.
The last session will take place (to enrol click right to open in a new tab or window on each date)
on Thursday, 25 March from 12h30 to 14h15 on zoom (link to the zoom meeting will be sent by email to people enrolled).
We encourage you to commit to attending all the sessions to experience the whole benefit of this course.
