CONNECT 2022- FREE INTERACTIVE VIRTUAL SEMINARS FOR NZPSS MEMBERS – A SERIES OF DISCUSSIONSIn the sixth event of this series Dr Ruth Lawson-McConnell will discuss staying adaptive in an ever-changing world. Staying adaptive in an ever-changing world is a quality to have these days. Frustration is an existential emotion that we all experience and our clients would not be in our therapy rooms if this was not a core factor in their lives. In this presentation Ruth will present a model of frustration leading to adaptation which can be used with our clients, and our own process of adaptation, given that the world pre-pandemic is not the same as the world we inhabit now. As clinicians, we face our own unique set of frustrating circumstances and futilities: our caseloads have increased and the work has become more complex, we may be drained from zoom fatigue, so our ‘normal' caseload is now even more energy draining, we may feel confused by how to conduct our sessions (with or without masks, online or in person). A simple yet profoundly applicable model of frustration leading to adaptation will be presented and the discussion will centre around how to apply this model to a wide variety of clients in diverse settings, as well as applied as a self-care model for clinicians working in ever-changing stressful environments.
