Managing yourself in chaotic environments for nurses and midwives
With Ann Bracken, Psychologist & Health Expert, Zevo Health
How do you remain patient-centred and feel emotionally regulated while also meeting the demands of a very busy, stressful, medical environment? This webinar will introduce a wide range of ‘affect regulation’ strategies and skills to help the professional nurse and midwife adapt to a range of stressful situations.
Rather than operating from automatic pilot and ‘reacting’ to stress, this webinar introduces how to replace automatic defence strategies with self-supportive approaches and breathwork based on the Polyvagal theoretical approach to calm the sympathetic nervous system when aroused.
This understanding promotes a co-regulation that engages the social nervous system of both the nurse and patient. We will also explore the difference between Eustress and Distress and how to express your needs while also considering others, in a busy environment.
Finally, the workshop will outline key skills in increasing your resilience, utilising the Window of Tolerance from Acceptance and Commitment Therapeutic (ACT) understanding.
