Avoid Burnout, Lean on us

'My yoga clients often tell me their problems and I don't know what to do with it all!'

People working in the health and fitness industry often build strong relationships with their regular clients. During their sessions, personal and upsetting information about clients’ lives are often shared. Yet, non-talking therapy wellbeing practitioners do not usually have access to a supervisor to ‘offload’ their clients’ worries to.  Nor do they have the training, or expertise to support others’ emotional states. 

 

It can be flattering for Wellbeing Practitioners when their clients reach out to them for help. But … beware, as their worries can become your burden and lead to burnout. Suddenly, you’re not teaching yoga for an hour each class, you’re staying behind catching up with someone who told you about their relationship problems, or financial woes, then taking their emotions home with you. 

‘Staying in your lane,’ or working within your expertise is something that is drummed into professionals. So, who do you turn to when your clients see you as their key support person?

So what happens in an Offload session?

During your 20 minute Offload session, the first 5 minutes is for you to have a rant about the things your clients have told you. The next 5 minutes are for you to share how this has affected you emotionally or physically.

In the last 10 minutes, we will identify how to shed the burden you hold from your clients so that you can free up your mind to enjoy your rest time and be fresh when it’s time to work with your clients again. Depending on your preference, this might include us doing a mindfulness activity together, or relaxation exercise.   

This is where YPS Psychology comes in. For £30 per session, you can ‘offload’ your feelings about your professional practice. Lean on us; allow us to relieve your burden so that you can enjoy your primary area of work and responsibilities.

Book as one-off sessions. Enjoy 10% off after 3 sessions.

An initial remote consultation is free (15 minutes) and there is no obligation to purchase an Offload.

For Offload sessions, payment is to be made 48 hours before your appointment. A full refund will be given if cancellation is made three or more days beforehand. Regrettably, no refund is given when cancellation is made within 48 hours of your session.
