‘I’m just not good enough!’

In the course of your professional practice you may have heard a colleague say this, or you may even have said it yourself. This feeling of not being good enough is rooted in shame.

This webinar will examine the issue of shame, with a specific focus on how feelings of shame and inadequacy can impact on the relationships interpreters have with their deaf and hearing clients.

Vicarious trauma is also referred to as compassion fatigue or secondary traumatization (Figley, 1995). When working with clients suffering trauma, we can feel an emotional residue, stress and/or weariness and lose our zest for life. Why does it happen?  As empathetic professionals, how do we protect ourselves from vicarious trauma, or minimise its effects? We’re delighted to have Wendy back to expand on her previous webinars.

We’re delighted to have Dr Wendy McIntosh back by popular demand! In this session Wendy will explore the powerful psychodynamics of transference and countertransference including attachment and attachment theory.

Dr McIntosh continues her series of webinars with Linguistpd by addressing our body’s reaction to stress. How can our limbic system help us take care of ourselves at work? What is compassion fatigue and how do we address it?
