Happy National Physicians Week To all the physicians out there, I appreciate you. Especially those who are focusing on giving your best to care for their patients, to the point that your fuel tank is almost empty. Thank you for being healers, always finding out new ways to treat diseases. Thank you for working long hours, hours you did not sign up for. Thank you for the physicians who realize and increase the awareness of the problem of physician burnout. Thank you for starting the movement to change the medical culture. Thank you for those who are raising awareness of the importance of self-care of physicians, as this is often ignored. Thank you for having a week of recognition. There is a lot of work to do and a lot to celebrate. Let us tell your physician friends how much you appreciate them. I invite you to read about my little piece of appreciation in my blog post. Link in comments. --------- I’m Dr. Mary. If you are a physician, I appreciate you. If you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed, going home late at night still with work to do, I can help you. In my 1:1 coaching program, I help physicians to go home on time with their work done. That could be you! DM me to find out more. #doctorappreciation #nationaldoctorsday #nationalphysiciansweek #appreciation #gratitude #stress #burnout #selfcare #celebrate #lifecoaching #physiciancoaching #enjoylife #enjoymedicine

I’ve been discussing the consequences of moral injury on helping professionals for years. It’s not just healthcare workers. Many people who work in helping industries can be impacted. It’s not talked about or taught enough. Check out this book. #moralinjury As Dr. Byrne explains, "When we heal the healers, the repercussions are felt throughout the healthcare system. Patients experience deeper empathy, and decision-making becomes grounded in ethics." Backed by staggering statistics revealing that over 50% of clinicians suffer from moral distress, moral injury, or burnout. With 40% of doctors planning to leave their current practice, the need for transformative change in healthcare has never been more urgent. "A must-read for health system executives, clinician wellness leaders, and healthcare entrepreneurs looking to fix the provider burnout crisis. Dr. Byrne skillfully diagnoses a new culprit - moral injury - through a variety of vulnerable first-hand accounts and compelling interviews with healthcare providers and trainees.”

Addressing Moral Injury in Healthcare: A Call to Action Moral injury is increasingly recognized in healthcare, reflecting the challenges that contradict our providers' ethical beliefs. This issue impacts not only their well-being but also the care they deliver. Dr. Byrne's insightful research and curation offer a deeper understanding of these struggles and ways we can support our fellow medical professionals. I invite you to join this important conversation to help improve conditions for those who care for us. Let's learn and advocate for change together! #Healthcare #MoralInjury #ProfessionalSupport #MentalHealth

In the realm of health care, where intricate knowledge meets compassionate care, lies an often overlooked but profoundly impactful element: the human connection. Sharing our latest Psychology Today article, where Dr Jan Bonhoeffer opens up about the healing that accompanies vulnerability. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dEhW_4sB #HeartBasedMedicine #HealthcareConnection #AuthenticHealing #HumanConnection #MindfulnessInHealthcare #PatientCenteredCare #EmotionalHealing #CompassionateMedicine #PsychologyToday

Over the last number of years, I have become aware that my health was struggling. I experienced muscular pain, fatigue, difficulty sleeping and bouts of feeling blue. In addition to nursing, I am a long-time meditator and energy health practitioner. Despite all my resources, I came up empty in making a dent in helping myself feel better. Two years ago, these symptoms were escalating. I felt anti-social and without any energy to participate in activities outside of work. I knew something had to change, but I felt hopeless to understand what or how. I know that I am not alone, and I think it is important that we share our stories. I am excited to be hosting a powerful conversation for care professionals called Running in Circles: The # 1 Reason Why Health Care Professionals Struggle with Self-Care. Wednesday, May 22nd, from 6:30 -8:30pm at Roots and Wings in Natick, MA This workshop is devoted to your relationship with self-care. We'll honestly look at your current relationship with self-care—where you are, what you want, and what's keeping you stuck. There are two slots left. If you are interested, please message me for more information.  

Finding balance and resilience can transform your clinical practice and personal life. Visit our website: https://lnkd.in/dz2SFXs #PhysicianWellness #BurnoutPrevention #MedicalLeadership

Optimizing Your Health 101: Cold Therapy

conscious clinicians, you are flooded with email inquiries. You can't respond immediately because you're in sessions and need more funds or the support of an administrative assistant to do these things for you! Here is an email template that you can set to automatically respond as a way to manage response time expectations... "Hi there, Thank you for reaching out, and it's so nice to connect with you! I understand that seeking therapy often comes during times of stress or unexpected life changes, and I’m grateful that your journey led you to my practice. Taking this first step is significant, and I truly appreciate you considering me as a part of your healing process. While I’m currently in sessions with other clients, I want you to know that I’ve received your email. I understand the anxiety that can come with waiting for a response, but please rest assured that I’ll get back to you within 48 hours. (Optional: During that time, I’d love to schedule a brief consultation where we can determine if we’re a good fit, and I’ll happily answer any questions you may have.) Thank you again for your patience and for taking this step toward your well-being. I look forward to connecting with you soon." Warmly, [Your Name] ---- Relatedly, checking in to see if you have the emotional and energy capacity to take on more clients is important to your well-being and sustainability. It can be easy to take on new clients all at once, but this can inevitably stress you out on the administrative end when you're unsure of the frequency of how often you'll see them. #mentalhealth #therapists #privatepractice #clinicalsupervision
