About this course
<p>In this course, wellness educator Dr. Shana Lewis, Ph.D., LPC, introduces a compelling framework for therapist self-care through what she calls “power moves” – intentional strategies to manage emotional, mental, and physical fatigue. Drawing on her extensive experience in clinical settings, supervision, and burnout recovery, Dr. Lewis explores practical tools such as daily emotional check-ins, mindfulness rituals, cognitive boundaries, and restorative routines. This course helps clinicians identify warning signs of burnout, reframe their internal narratives around worthiness, and create a sustainable rhythm for doing people-centred work without sacrificing themselves in the process. The impact is deeply personal and profoundly professional – restoring purpose, presence, and longevity in therapeutic practice.</p>
