Reimagining Ourselves: Toward A More Balanced, Integrated Self
Original Program Date :
Length: 45:44


Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. This is true for qualitative researchers, who often work on difficult topics, while managing deadlines, clients, vendors, and a variety of stressors. The political climate, social issues, and the pandemic have added another layer. As a result, many qualitative researchers experience burnout, compassion fatigue, and mental health challenges, as well as difficult emotions, especially frustration, anger, impatience, and others. 

Yet, you have to show up with compassion and care! Unlike mental health providers, qualitative researchers are usually not trained to deal with compassion fatigue and related states, which can lead to more frustration. This interactive presentation will create awareness, provide insight and information, and introduce a variety of tools and skills working with body and mind to help you create a more integrated, balanced self.
