Dear friends & colleagues,
As the holidays approach more doctors, workers, and caregivers are opening up to me about their burnout symptoms. Burnout in physicians has become the norm during this pandemic.
I know first-hand that juggling urgent personal or family needs while also working as a physician is extremely challenging. For the past few weeks, I have been dealing with a family medical emergency. Had I not been there to advocate for my father, his brain tumour would not have been diagnosed. He is now receiving expert treatment and is incredibly grateful to get to live this Christmas. Thank you all for being patient with me as I had to delay some of my work and my usual monthly newsletter.
On a brighter note, this recent experience as well as the numerous requests I am receiving for help with burnout led me to create this new offer:
HOLIDAY OFFER
50% Off
Videos & Workbook
RECHARGE To Prevent or Overcome Burnout
Now Available On-Demand
8-Session Program
(Special offer avail. Dec 18, 2021 - Jan 3, 2022)
Due to the increased demand for help over the holidays I have decided to make my 8-week online series available in an on-demand version. The complete series of Video Recordings, Session Notes, and Action Plan can be accessed on your own time. I'm so happy to be able to offer this to those of you who wished to take the live series but couldn't fit it into your schedule. I hope that the holidays might allow time for some personal reflection and growth.
The Recharge on-demand series allows you to:

The positive feedback from participants who have completed the Recharge program has exceeded my expectations. If you are not satisfied with the program, email me and I will refund you the full fee.
WHY ADDRESS BURNOUT NOW?
I have seen too many physicians and patients injured by the effects of burnout. In the past 21 years, as an emergency room physician, family physician, and medical psychotherapist, I have lost close friends on both sides of this equation. Cynicism, detachment, and exhaustion lead to errors. Sadly, burnout and errors can push physicians to the brink. Most physicians with burnout deny even serious symptoms due to their strong sense of duty and obligation. Guilt and moral distress lead some doctors to push past safe limits until it's too late. Getting through the denial of even severe symptoms of burnout can be difficult. Do a self-test here.
My goal is to help those suffering from burnout before serious adverse events occur. Too many doctors wait until their health has suffered severely. In some cases, they reach out to me only after a cardiac event or other stress-related illness finally hits. In other cases, their relationships have been injured, or a medical error or complaint has caused them intense stress or forced them to leave their job permanently. I don't want another doctor to suffer unnecessarily from the personal fallout that accompanies burnout. Help is available.
This series is suitable for physicians, nurses, health care professionals, executives, workers, caregivers, and parents.
