Part 2: Restoring and Sustaining Clinician Well-Being Part 2 of this series focuses more specifically on how clinicians can restore and sustain their own well-being. It will start by addressing some of the barriers to effective self-care, and will emphasize the critical importance of transitioning the concept of self-care into living practices of daily life. A discussion of this personal integration will include self-monitoring strategies and the use of specific self-assessment tools, while also addressing the limitations of self-assessment if applied in the absence of invaluable interpersonal connection and support. Specific techniques for moving out of burnout and addressing compassion fatigue and vicarious traumatization will be covered. The essential role of self-compassion in the promotion of wellness will be addressed, as will key components of resilience. Suggestions will be made for ways in which clinicians can move toward greater self-revitalization and well-being, both in an effort to support their own mental health and functioning and to enable clinicians to more effectively serve those with whom they work. Featuring: Leisl Bryant, Ph.D., ABPP [Note] This webinar was filmed in 2021 and may not reflect the most current information and laws regarding this topic. Objectives: Describe at least three barriers to effective self-care. Explain the concept of ‘lived’ self-care.

The idea of flourishing in positive psychology emphasizes principles of mindfulness on a backdrop of cognitive behavioral principles. Shockingly absent from this literature is the mention of sleep. High quality self-care starts with a foundation of quality sleep-care. This webinar is designed with the premise that if we are to meet our ethical obligation to maintain competence, and if we envision a world in which clinicians and trainees are thriving, we will embed sleep-care into our daily practices. Participants will be asked to take a sleep inventory to self-assess their sleep habits and sleep quality and will learn how to incorporate principles of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia into their routines in order to include sleep nurturance as a positive dimension to their lives. Featuring: Lisa Cromer, Ph.D. [Note] This webinar was filmed in 2021 and may not reflect the most current information and laws regarding this topic. Learning Objectives Assess your sleep quality and sleep sufficiency. List five strategies for improving sleep quality and quantity. Identify the connection between sleep-care and psychologists’ ethical obligation of competence.

As the nation navigates reconciling the impact of race relations, our ability to engage in thoughtful and meaningful psychological practice remains ever present. Cultural avoidance or the aim of cultural avoidance in psychotherapy is unethical and can create harm for clients. Clients may experience disconnection, disregard, and disrespect by the provider, which can lead to failure to build rapport, therapeutic ruptures, and early termination. Psychologists are required ethically to attend to the client's identities, including their race, ethnicity, and culture. This webinar addresses the impact of cultural avoidance, racial “colorblindness,” and implicit bias on our (in)ability to engage in therapeutic relationships. The antidote to cultural avoidance is cultural engagement. The presentation will provide strategies for cultural engagement that directly address and integrate the client's identities. Featuring: Josephine D. Johnson, Ph.D., Trustee (Moderator); Miguel Gallardo, Psy.D.; Thema Bryant-Davis, Ph.D. [Note] This webinar was filmed in 2021 and may not reflect the most current information and laws regarding this topic.
