A physician health program that tells you (& I'm a therapist!) that when you're burned out, you need therapy & yoga (I won't even touch on 'mindfulness') is a lie. You need time off to recover. Then therapy & embodied practice to support the recovery, 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒊𝒕.

YES indeed. There are a LOT of things that need to be fixed. Lots of toxicity. The trouble is a mindset of "when I was a resident I had to X, so you need to as well" which is generational suffering that needs to stop. #MedTwitter

All doctors really need therapy. Let that sink in. The trauma endured from medical school training and practice combined requires therapists who understand medical identity formation, moral injury recovery & relational trauma that therapist training doesn’t even provide.

The more dysregulated we are, the less we are living from free will.
Free will works best when we are regulated at the nervous system level. Otherwise, our choices aren't really ours, they are the constructs of our survival stress and unhealed traumas.

I’m taking a flying lesson today 😃 The pic below asks you if you are “safe to fly” ✈️ Isn’t it time we ask those delivering healthcare these exact questions?! #Safetyfirst 🥼 #HealtheHealer #physicianwellness #careforthecaregiver

What we see in others and what we talk about actually reflects how we feel about ourselves... 💙 #ThinkBigSundayWithMarsha #SundayMorning #life
