I felt the speaker spent too much time on information that could easily have bee condensed into an hour (in my opinion)/ After a while I was very bored and lost interest.I do agree that the the topic is very relevant for today's SLP. For me it was too redundant. But I appreciate the speaker's enthusiasm for the subject.

I think that if you hate your job then you should get out. No amount of meditation, etc. can help if you just can't stand going in to work. Believe me, I know this firsthand. I suppose that if you have absolutely no choice, then you just need an attitude adjustment. None of the breathing and exercise and mindfulness did a thing for me. I quit.

While it was validating to hear that other SLPs find the job stressful, I didn’t find the strategies presented to be anything new. I’m sure it’s helpful for someone fresh out of graduate school who has never had a job before or experienced and dealt with stress.

These strategies are so important, and so useful, not only in today's struggles as SLP's but in life in general. It is so important to be mindful of your thoughts, feelings, and your body's reactions. This lecture touches on things we all know we should do to take care of ourselves, but rarely do. I appreciate the reminder of the importance of mindfulness and positivity. I watched this video at a time when I really needed it!

Certainly relevant. No surprise that paperwork is a top-tier source of stress. Helpful to acknowledge factors that are out of our control - particularly true for school-based SLPs.

One of the main reasons I left the field is that I did burn out and it was good to hear not only how I might avoid that, should I return to the field, but to have my burnout defined, understood and validated.

I’ve been an SLP for 25 YEARS. I relate to everything here. I recently signed up for grad school to be nurse practitioner. I will continue PRN speech. The profession is not what it was 25-30 years ago. It was fun & there was so much positivity everywhere. Now everyone stabs everyone in the back.

The information seemed very basic, even for an "Introductory" level course. The speaker and her presentation style did not give the impression of having a depth of knowledge or experience.
by

on

I did not feel that the course was backed up with mention of research or literature. To me, the majority of the discussion appeared to be generated from the speaker's personal experiences, hearsay or from discussion with colleagues, yet this was ill-defined.

The subject matter was unique yet very much needed in our profession, as many of us are experiencing burnout. The instructor's presentation was informative and easy to follow. This course provided practical ways to recognize and reduce symptoms of burnout. I am still not a believer in meditation and yoga as the go-to solution for the high degree of stress in our profession, but maybe once I try it I'll be convinced that it works.

Ideas for decreasing stress
by
Member
on
April 1, 2019
This course is probably relevant to most of us, and it triggered a calm and relaxed feeling in me. I enjoyed the guided practice in meditation and journaling. The course instigated an "I will do this" movement rather than an "Oh, that's a nice idea" lack of movement. I checked out her website, downloaded the breakfast cookie recipe, got out a notebook to brain dump and gratitude tonight and will listen to a meditation from her library in the morning. This course resonated with me!
