Our training, and often our core nature as facilitators, tends towards to paying attention to others’ needs.  Paradoxically, we may feel that we are “doing our job” by denying or neglecting our needs.  This can be costly as it activates our shadow traits (such as denial, desentisation, confluence, deflection, projection, egotism), reduces our awareness/impact and, ultimately, over time, becomes unethical when potentially leading to harm and burnout.

Maintaining personal well-being is a core facilitation competency.
