Building resilience isn’t just about client strategies; I’ve found that facilitating self-care workshops can go a long way. When we discuss empathy in therapy, I often use role-playing to help clients understand different perspectives better. It’s not a cure-all, but it certainly sparks meaningful conversations around their experiences.
