Aware Cares CEU Webinar Series:

Managing Burnout, Compassion Fatigue and Countertransference

for Mental Health Professionals

Wed, September 14, 2022

9:00 AM – 10:00 AM EDT

Many individuals enter the mental health profession to help others. However, they do not always anticipate the impact that their work may have on them over time and depending on the population that they are serving. There are also subtle yet important differences between burnout, compassion fatigue, and countertransference that impact both prevention and management strategies. This live webinar is part of the "Aware Cares" Series which is centered around caring and providing education to help mental health professionals.

Reflections on Money Matters in the Therapist/Patient Dyad

September 23, 2022

7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

Online Event

The impact of the exchange of money between patient and therapist and its characterological implications has not received the attention it warrants in literature focused on this complex therapeutic interaction. Issues surrounding money can foreshadow ways patients and therapists project private meaning systems and display character within the dyad. Irwin Hirsch, PhD will discuss the integration of money matters and financial transactions with his recent writing on the analyst’s avoidance of countertransferential discomfort.

A Shimmering Landscape:

The Actual and the Imaginative in Psychic Life

October 21, 2022

7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Online Event

The poet Elizabeth Bishop’s grandmother had a glass eye. The glass eye often looked heaven-ward, or off at an angle, while the real eye looked directly at you. Bishop’s grandmother’s bifurcated gaze is a useful metaphor for the inherent strain involved in coming to terms with reality, distinct from what psychoanalysis commonly describes as conflict between reality and pleasure. We neither simply “see” an objective reality nor invent a subjective one.
