Mapping Your Edges: Exploring Healthy Boundaries (health and care staff wellbeing)
Letting go of harsh self-talk, building inner encouragement, and creating space for growth.
Description
Turning Kindness Inward: Self-Compassion & Navigating Burnout
One-day wellbeing and communication workshop for Leeds health and care staff.
What if looking after yourself was part of how you care for others?
In healthcare and helping roles, the emotional load can be invisible but constant. When your focus is always on others, it’s easy to override your own limits—until stress, fatigue, or a sense of depletion begins to build.
Boundaries are essential to protecting your wellbeing—they help you stay grounded, connected, and able to care without losing yourself in the process.
This reflective workshop is a space to pause. To check in with yourself. To gently explore where your boundaries lie, how you respond when they’re tested, and how small acts of self-compassion can protect your energy and support the care you offer others.
“This helped me see that being kind to myself isn’t self-indulgent—it’s essential.”
