Boundaries, Balance, and Self Love for FSSW’s

Welcome, beautiful FSSW’s with vulvas.

Enter this safe space with an open mind and an open heart. We will be running through theoretical and somatic work that will be building blocks for boundaries, balance, and self love, regardless of where you are on your journey.

Lulu

Lulu (she/they - therapist with years of experience as a SW in the USA) will lead the first half of this workshop to enhance understanding and skills to:

• Create stronger boundaries around trauma dumping from clients

• Utilise mental health first aid to manage concerning client presentations

• Process difficult client sessions effectively and safely

• Harness the power of your personal, intimate relationships to support resilience and relational connection.

Kadi

Kadi (she/her - somatic sex coach and SW ally) will be leading you through practices during the second half of this workshop that will allow you to:

• Feel into a variety of emotions

• Lovingly connect with yourself somatically

• Regulate your nervous system

Kadi has assisted in person events and co-facilitated webinars, however it is her first time co-facilitating an in person event! Consideration and kindness to this fact would be highly appreciated. Let's learn and explore together!

Jinx Jasper

This container is also hosted by Jinx Jasper (they/them - current FSSW) who will be:

• bringing relevant conversation to light and discussing how these practices can be useful in dealing with situations that arise from FSSW

• providing extra support

Values

1. Honouring your entire being
2. Respecting your line of work
3. Creating a safe container 

Safety

This container will be a safe space, meaning that we encourage you to be clear with your communication for consent and boundaries (between yourself and other guests, and between yourself and us, as facilitators). You are not required to engage verbally, physically, or energetically with any conversation or practice that doesn't feel right for you at the time. You may want to get some fresh air, or simply watch others from the side lines. Please feel free to approach any of us facilitators for questions and / or support. We will send you an email within 48 hours of the workshop to check in and provide support, list the discussed resources, and attach a feedback form. 

Inclusivity

This container is an LGBTQI+ friendly and your facilitators identify as queer.

Catering

Cold drinks, tea, and plant-based savoury and sweet treats will be provided by the ever so creative Bella Visentin.
