1:1 Vicarious Trauma & Burnout Relief Coaching for Mental Health Clinicians
Burnout amongst mental health clinicians is on the rise.
There is such a huge need for our work that our caseloads keep getting heftier and heftier. But our institutional support systems and mentors seem just as confused as we are about how to deal with burnout.
Hint: the solution is not to just push through it, numb your mounting overwhelm, nor to impulsively quit.
But, you know you can’t just keep going the way you’ve been going. And you don’t have to.
The solution is simpler than you think.
You already have the answers. All you have to do is reconnect with your body.
And I do mean simple. I’m talking about powerful, somatic micro-practices that you can perform in under a minute to release vicarious trauma so you don’t have to take your clients’ horror stories home with you. I’m talking quick, body-based routines that will deeply connect you to your body’s wisdom, your true “yes” & “no”, and your capacity to take on more- or not.
This is how you get to keep helping your clients without hurting yourself.
This is how you get to build a sustainable, joyful, healthy career as a mental health clinician. One you don’t have to escape from.
What’s C.A.L.M. Clinician Coaching?

Support for Clinicians from a Clinician
Our work is so very needed. We can’t have you so exhausted and run down that you quit your life’s work before you have the opportunity to help all the people you want to help.
That’s why it’s so important to me to equip mental health clinicians with the somatic & mindfulness tools that prevent burnout and vicarious trauma.
During our time together, you’ll learn micro-practices that you can do in under 1 minute that empower you to:
🌸 Release your clients’ trauma from your body in between sessions so you don’t have to carry it into the next session or home with you
🌸 Recognize & honor your boundaries
🌸 Take exquisite care of yourself no matter how busy you get
🌸 Respond rather than react at work and in your personal life
-
🌸 Therapists
🌸 Counselors
🌸 Social Workers
🌸 Psych Techs
🌸 Nurses
🌸 Doctors
🌸 Domestic violence & sexual assault victim advocates & responders -
Are you expecting yourself to have endless compassion?
So many clinicians expect this of themselves. If they don’t have perpetual, eternal, sage-like wisdom, patience, & calm with clients and everyone else in the world… they’re doing it wrong.
But, at some point, especially with your caseload, your compassion tank inevitably runs low.
You find yourself unusually irritable. You say “yes” before you even have a chance to check your calendar or internal sense of whether you have the emotional bandwidth. You ruminate about your clients’ traumatic stories all weekend long (instead of taking that yoga class you’ve meant to go to and haven’t for the last 4 months). You find yourself snapping at your partner, your kids, the dog. Before long, you’re wracked with the Sunday Scaries. And then it’s Monday after a night of fitful sleep. Once again, you’re rushing around, pounding unsatisfying gas station food in the 2 minutes you have between sessions, road-raging all the way home, and fantasizing about quitting.
Which is a shame. Because we need you.

🌸 The horror stories you hear don’t haunt the rest of your day

🌸 You actually rest, recharge, and have fun during your downtime
🌸 Sunday Scaries are a thing of the past and you’re excited to see your clients come Monday morning

This is what you can expect from my C.A.L.M coaching for clinicians.
Hi, I’m Lauren 🌸
Hi, I’m Lauren- but my nickname is the “Body Lorax.” Like Dr. Seuss’s Lorax speaks for the trees, I speak for the bodies. Because, unfortunately, in this fast-paced, Capitalist, numbed-out society, most of us have been trained from birth to disconnect from our body’s innate wisdom. I’m here to bring you and your body back together into loving alignment.
I bring my decades in the mental health field, 10+ years as a board-certified dance/movement therapist, my 20+ years as a dancer & performer, 7+ years as a coach, and my lived experience as someone who has struggled with disordered eating to our work together.
I want you to know you don’t have to punish or deprive your body in order to do your best work as a mental health clinician. Actually, it’s the opposite. I’m here to help you discover the path back to yourself in the way that is the most aligned, authentic, and pleasurable for you.
You Deserve C.A.L.M!
When we work together 1:1, I tailor your experience to you.
You won’t just be following a one-size-fits-all curriculum: each session is customized to your needs, addressing your struggles, and getting what you want out of the session.
There are 2 ways you can work with me 1:1 to build your C.A.L.M.

“The somatic class I did with you helped me at an incredibly important time when I needed to keep going while feeling burn out.”

“I have taken workshops with Lauren and I always learn something new and gain a tool that I can immediately use to feel more connected and more confident with my body.”
Monica Ellison

“I loved that you seemed to take the role of walking with us on this journey, rather than having any hierarchical (expert-client) structure. I liked that you didn’t promise any quick fixes, and acknowledged this is something that will evolve over (perhaps) years. I also loved that your energy as an empath and healer came across, even via zoom or YouTube. I personally appreciate the humor, cause damn we need it in this world! Finally I appreciated you connecting us to other voices in this zone, and recognized the importance of community.”

FYI
-
Disordered eating behaviors are a common maladaptive coping mechanism for clinicians struggling with vicarious trauma and burnout. This is definitely something I can help you address.
However, please note that my goal is to help you build a loving relationship with your body without having to change your body.
While I am happy to help you process your feelings about diet, fitness for weight loss, & medical interventions- these are not my personal approaches to healing. -
C.A.L.M is for you.
It’s to empower you with the tools and skills to keep showing up as a clinician with a full well of energy & compassion.
While this will immeasurably help you to better serve your clients, this is NOT a certification or training program for professional and/or clinical skill-building.
-
Please note that C.A.L.M. is not an appropriate treatment for emergencies, acute mental health crises, or severe eating disorders.
