Measurable Outcomes:

· Exposure to movement as a self-care healing ritual offers a choice to use movement as a mechanism to restore and build resiliency through self-compassion and self-love and self-healing

· Nurses will feel reconnected to their innate emotions and authenticity, helping them restore their ability to self-heal, self-regulate, self-balance and restore well-being

Importance to Nursing

· Nurses experience suffering, trauma, and deep sorrow in their work, and if not released in positive ways these stored experiences can lead to burn out, compassion fatigue, anxiety, depression and leaving their work.

· Being exposed to a variety of self-love movement tools to release suffering, grief and trauma is imperative in helping Nurses find their true authenticity, purpose, and love of self and love for Nursing.

Emotional Labor is described by Hochschild as the “…management of feeling to create a publicly observable facial and bodily display” (1983, p.7).

It is expected that Nurses cannot, and should not publicly display feelings in facial expressions, body positions or behaviors, despite obvious trauma, sorrow, suffering and pain experienced moment to moment. Be tough, be fearless, stay detached.

Masking emotions leads to numbness, disconnection to emotions and to authenticity, resulting in burnout, loss of joy and purpose and ongoing suffering, potentially leading to a loss of health and vitality.
