VULNERABILITY AS A HELPING PROFESSIONAL
Jenni Odell, MFT, and DaLene Forester, PhD, have run several workshops specifically for therapists and helping professionals, addressing the vulnerability obstacles we face when dealing with our own personal challenges in a profession that often propels an idea that we have to have it ‘all together.’ We will be discussing how to Brave the wilderness of working in the helping fields, working through our own issues of shame or guilt, daring to be vulnerable, within the parameters of professional and personal boundaries.
JENNI ODELL
