Ready to Bring More Compassion to Your Practice?

2 PDAs/ CEUs (Ethics)
Self-Paced Course by Seanna Sifflet, L.Ac. MSW

The Compassionate Provider course aims to help individuals working in the healthcare field to sharpen their communication skills while improving connection within the therapeutic relationship.

This course will cover: boundary setting, biases, burn-out, compassion, and how to manage challenging therapeutic relationships. With a more thorough understanding of the complexities within the therapeutic relationship, this class will help participants cultivate a greater self-awareness of how they are connecting to their patients and provide better care as a result.

This course is a Category 1 course: Ethics. This is a self-paced, distance learning course.

In this course you will:

:: Refine your strategies for building trust within the therapeutic relationship, even if other strategies in the past have fallen short.

:: Learn how to better navigate uncomfortable or challenging situations that can arise in the therapeutic relationship with a little more ease.

:: Discover the not-so-obvious signs that you are nearing burnout, and what to do if you’re already there.

:: Find out how to build simple burnout prevention exercises into your life, even if you feel you have no time or energy to care for yourself on a regular basis.

:: Have a fresh approach and tools to look at biases and discover how different types of biases arise (many you may not even be aware of) when working with patients.

:: Discover new tools for crisis management especially during challenging times.

:: Have tools that will allow you to consistently bring compassion-based connection into every therapeutic relationship. And much, much more!

The tools and exercises you will learn in this course will improve the therapeutic relationship and your relationship to yourself and others. You will also have new tools to share with patients to better their lives.

Seanna Sifflet

I am a teacher and acupuncturist who focuses on compassionate- based communication and connection in the therapeutic relationship. I hold two Master’s degrees in Social Work (MSW) and Chinese Medicine (MSTOM) and have over 20 years experience working within both of these fields. I deeply enjoy helping people in the healthcare field navigate the various dynamics within the therapeutic relationship. I believe that through practicing self-compassion and compassion towards others, you will improve therapeutic outcomes. Personally, I would describe myself as being light hearted and a big laugher.
