Therapeutic Touch Invitational Mentorship Program: Longing for Connection - Reconnecting with Deep Peace

Course overview

Therapeutic Touch Invitational Mentorship Program. In addition to the foundational approach included in the TT Invitational Mentorship, growing literature documents that among healthcare professionals, a sense of peace and well-being is essential to the provision of appropriate and effective care. This program assists the healthcare professional to recognize the symptoms of stress overload, the difficulty in multitasking, and the benefits of flexibility and resilience. Topics to be explored relate to the individual participant's role in their discipline and will be processed in large and small group discussions, with written assignments, group reflective projects, imagery and movement activities. Current topics include ethics, presence, acceptance and recognition of the need to reflect in the moment, listening, choice and making conscious responses during exchanges in relationship to colleagues, clients and patients are explored. Intuition, mindfulness and clarity around decision-making and our responses to adversity and challenging situations, allows reframing problems into genuine opportunities. Concepts of how attention energizes and intention transforms our endeavors will be presented. The goal is that through processing these questions and exploring these topics, the course will bring renewal of our purpose in our profession: How am I unique? Why am I in this role? How can I best help?
