Our Free Burnout Prevention Programs
Free October Workshop:
Functioning vs. Capacity™: When Being Good at the Work Hides What It’s Costing You
Oct 27th, 2026 at 3-4pm EST
Therapist Resource Network welcomes Karrion Lalor Carr, MA, LPC for an engaging discussion exploring the distinction between being able to continue doing the work and having the emotional, relational, and internal capacity to sustain how we are doing it. Therapists are trained to notice distress, recognize patterns, hold emotional complexity, and remain present for others. Those same skills can make it surprisingly easy to continue functioning well even when our own capacity is being stretched. Rather than waiting for burnout to become the evidence that something needs attention, participants will learn to recognize what may be changing underneath their functioning and consider what sustainable practice requires from the practitioner—not just the professional.
Participants will leave with:
1. A clearer distinction between functioning and capacity.
Recognize why continuing to see clients, meet responsibilities, and perform competently does not necessarily mean current demands are sustainable.
2. Greater awareness of what changes before burnout.
Identify subtle shifts in emotional availability, patience, decision-making, boundaries, recovery, and relational presence that can occur while clinical performance remains intact.
3. A practical way to examine their own capacity.
Identify where professional competence may be compensating for stretched capacity and determine what needs attention before functioning begins to decline.
A recording of this workshop will be sent to all who register.
