Burnout affects 83% of nurses. But what if it’s not just burnout. What if there’s something more? ◉A whopping 25% of nurses meet the diagnostic criteria for PTSD ◉A whopping 91% of nurses report one or more PTSD ◉A whopping 86% of nurses report having little to no resources to help them with trauma exposure. This is not an “occupational phenomenon”. It’s nurse-specific traumatization📛 Assess your symptoms with my quick & easy self-assessment for unique results that will help you understand what your symptoms are really saying.

If you’re a nurse, chances are your autonomic nervous system is getting hijacked at work😵 Think of it like this… Within each of us are 3 circuits that get turned on or off depending upon a number of factors. Within each of us is also a unique inner surveillance system that’s operaterating 24/7 to determine if your internal and external conditions are safe. This is your Threat Detector🚨 And depending on what’s stored within you in “Your Repository” (past traumas, prior experiences, beliefs) the threat detector will respond by toggling with these circuits, just like dimmer light switches💡 Nurses are going to work and having their light switches absolutly hijacked by unsafe staffing, lack of resources, danger and violence. There are essentially zero signs of safety being signaled to millions of nurses worldwide and it cannot be sustained🧟♂️ Please follow along as I continue to unpack the evidence, research, & actionable ways to transcend nurse-specific traumatization✨ Head over to my website for the free self-assessment on Nurse Trauma & join my next Nurse Trauma Town Hall!

If you’re reading this…you’re breathing!🙌🏼 When I talk to nurses, they tell me they don’t have a single second to pause, take a sip of water, or use the restroom. So, to ask a nurse to slow down & take a moment probably isn’t realistic or applicable. I know it feels like you just can’t, that you don’t have a single second for anything…Hear me out… You’re breathing already! That IS happening! So, if anything, recognize that. And if you can do more, maybe take that inhale a little deeper. And maybe let something go with the exhale🤍 This is a microdose of Nurturance for your Nervous System. You got this⭐️ I have more of these Microdoses Practices if you’re curious to learn more. I’ll also be giving my Nurturing Your Nervous System Guidebook for FREE to those who pre-order my book! Thank you for the work that you do. From my healer’s heart to yours, Dr. Lorre💕 #NotJustBurnout #NursePTSDAwareness #NurseTraumaHealing
