Closing General Session
Integrating Self Care into our Real Lives with Dr. Ken Ginsburg
Deep engagement leaves us vulnerable as we bear witness to the uncertainties of the human condition. This vulnerability, if not properly managed, can lead us to distance ourselves from our emotions and those we aim to serve, a state called “burnout.” When you are stressed, you care too much, but when you are burned out, you don’t see any hope of improvement. “The worst thing is not to be stressed… it is to be numb.” If we are to make a difference in the lives of those that we serve, we must foster the kind of connections that position us as a positive force in their lives.
