Working in a caring profession, building a private practice, struggling with perfectionism, and neglecting your needs are perfect recipes for burnout.
As clinicians, we realize that we work in a flawed healthcare system in the US, but how do we exist in this environment to do good work and sustain ourselves from a holistic perspective that goes way beyond basic self-care? We are diving into this topic with today's guest.
Dr. Jessi Gold is the first Chief Wellness Officer for the University of Tennessee System, comprising five campuses and over 60,000 students. Also serving as an associate professor of psychiatry, Dr. Gold is a speaker, media advocate, author, and mental health consultant. She recently wrote How Do You Feel? One Doctor's Search for the Humanity in Medicine. In today's session, Jessi shares her experience in teetering on the edge of burnout and what she learned about herself.
