Don't Blame The Victim: 4 Myths of Clinician Self-Care

The term self-care has a bad rap lately. It can seem like healthcare organizations use terms like "self-care" and "resilience" to make their doctors, nurses, and other healthcare practitioners work harder and harder. They offer free yoga, while piling on more and more work!

There is truth to this scenario, yet pushing away the concepts of self-care is not the solution.

This week we cover 4 myths of clinician self-care. This episode is appropriate if you are a physician, nurse, nurse practitioner, physician assistant/associate, chaplain, social worker, therapist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, or other person who cares for seriously ill or aging people.

Caring for you is a key part of caring for your patients!
