Burnout Prevention is a two-hour, in-person workshop for healthcare professionals, offered at Self Space’s Seattle location on January 31, 2027, from 1 to 3 p.m. The training focuses on practical self-care strategies that clinicians can use day to day, both during clinical work and between sessions. Led by Aaron Kapin, a Somatic Experiencing practitioner, the workshop centers on two common clinical scenarios: ending a session on time when a client raises something significant at the door, and staying grounded in one’s own body while sitting with another person’s distress. Participants explore how to tune into their own energy, how to slow a session down when needed, and how to stay within the therapeutic frame even when it is tempting to bend it. The goal is to help clinicians make space for themselves so they can continue to show up fully for their clients.
Learing Outcomes:
Understand and practice an approach for ending sessions on time
Learn at least one somatic exercise for settling your nervous system during session
Learn and practice an approach to slowing down a highly activated session

Aaron Kapin
Hi, I’m Aaron. I work with people who struggle with knowing what they want and feeling capable of going for it. I love working with people who want to re-learn how to feel self-connected and confident, and who are learning to set boundaries and allow themselves time to rest. I work with people experiencing anxiety and stress, and who often feel thrown off balance.
I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, which means that I practice an approach to healing and growing which focuses on the experience of the body and the emotions. SE allows us to pay attention to our own experience of life in a new way, finding a safe place inside from which to learn about ourselves and how we want to relate to the world around us. We can allow parts of ourselves to express in ways that empower us, strengthen us, and bring us back to our sense of home within our own body. Somatic Experiencing is not psychotherapy, although it is a technique often used by therapists to help increase resilience to handle stress.
