Burnout.
The World Health Organization defines burnout as “a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion; increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one’s job; and reduced professional efficacy.”
It’s a word we all know & an experience that has touched many of us.
As today’s podcast guest, Dr Claudine Holt a physician and coach for women in medicine, shared with me the signs and symptoms of burnout I began to realize, hey she’s describing an older version of me!
Claudine is NY based board-certified Occupational Medicine Physician, and a Feminine Embodiment Coach.
Today she joins us on the podcast for an exploration of embodiment & recovering from burnout for medical professionals.
In this episode we discuss:
- How Claudine got into embodiment work (while also being a Doctor)
- Claudine’s experience of burnout during her residence years
- The culture of burnout in modern healthcare
- How burnout can show up – the signs, symptoms & what to look for
- The role of conventional burnout strategies & how Claudine supports her clients to recover
Burnout is the culture of our times. A culture that expects us to do more & think our way out of everything. A culture that asks for more than the body can bear. Unfortunately, even though the situation might not be of our creation, burnout culture is our inheritance. An inheritance we can either perpetuate – or change – depending on what we embody.
This is an excellent episode for anyone in health care (medical, nursing, dentistry, allied health professional) or with family/friends associated with healthcare.
