Class Description
Whether you've only started your service journey or you've been in service for decades, we all doubt ourselves, and we all have fears. These could be shaped by trauma, mental health issues, neurodivergence, negative past experiences, or any combination and more. In this class, we'll be discussing some of the things we tell ourselves about why we aren't "good enough", how we share common fears, and how to challenge and make roads to peace with them both individually and as a community of service providers.
