NTI Conversations - The Self Care Journey

by Gabrielle Harding -

The Self Care Journey
Presented by Dr Anita Milicevic

27 November 2024
11am-12pm (AEDT)

This event will be held online via zoom

 

There is increasing contemporary dialogue on “self-care”, yet we often misunderstand its importance for ourselves and others.

Why is it so crucial to care for ourselves in order to help others, particular for those in caring professions? How does self-care become a practice?


Dr. Anita Milicevic, a contemplative psychologist and trauma specialist, will address self-care as an ethical imperative and practice for personal accountability. She will examine our struggles with self-care, the challenges of surrendering and trusting, and how to cultivate the ability to seek and accept help. She will explore how consistent self-care practices foster psychological flexibility, a healthy sense of confidence and nurture meaningful relationships, while enabling us to avoid burnout.

As the year begins to wind down, join us for this uplifting and nurturing session on self-care with Dr Anita Milicevic, the Research & Education Director at the Center for Contemplative Research.


Tickets are free; however, registrations are essential. You can register here https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-self-care-journey-tickets-1073937428759?aff=oddtdtcreator
