This program will explore some of the core difficulties for collaborative professionals working with couples in conflict. A discussion related to empirical findings related to team burnout, recognition of individual perspectives in relation to conflict and what it means to shift from a sympathetic/empathetic mindset to one of compassion. This will be an interactive workshop, with discussions delving into diverse case situations requiring the need to explore self-awareness as a professional, helping each other to find ways out of blindspots and landmines and learning how to rebalance our mindset with compassion in order to re-energize and take problem solving to resolution. We will also discuss the connection of our compassionate mindset to our professional and non-professional lives.
