- You are frequently being exposed to others pain and trauma in your work
- You already work with clients/ patients using mindfulness based interventions that you have been trained in, such as ACT and want to have a place to explore and grow these further, so maybe they feel more natural, embodied and flexible.
- You want to embody more of what you are offering clients in the way of MBIs and self compassion work by focusing on and getting support for your own personal practice of these in your life for you. Knowing that much of the way our clients/ patients develop mindfulness and self compassion is by it being embodied by the clinician. Siegel D (2010) The Mindful Therapist.

Being a health/ caring professional or teacher comes with their particular stresses and struggles as well as wonderful rewards of doing what we care about.
Dealing with funding restraints, under resourcing, organisational issues as well as the actual work of being in a caring, helping, teaching role can take its toll. We are often being exposed, sometimes frequently, to others pain and distress, as well as dealing with our our own ups and downs of being human.
Often these roles involve giving of ourselves day in day out, going “above and beyond”.
We are essentially “the tools of our trade” and so we have to look after ourselves and keep ourselves well, so we can continue to offer our best in a sustainable way. From an organisational and financial perspective it makes sense to look after staff.
