Summary
Welcome back to Therapy Chat! In this week's episode host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C welcomes back Dr. Gail Gazelle for part two of their conversation all around burnout. Dr. Gazelle is a physician who spent most of her career in hospice work. Based on her own experiences as well as those of other physicians and healthcare professionals she worked with, she became a Coach for physicians to build resilience and prevent burnout.
This was such a robust conversation that we are releasing it in two parts. This week, in Part One, Gail and Laura discuss the scope of the problem of physician burnout, the impact it has, and how she helps her physician coaching clients. Next week, in part two, we go into more detail about developing resilience. Burnout was a problem even before COVID19, and there is even more risk with so many healthcare professionals being stressed to their limits by the demands of the pandemic. Gail shares a hopeful message to encourage physicians to take care of themselves as well as they do their patients. Don't miss this important discussion!
