Loss
Every day, healthcare workers see firsthand the toll that illness and injury can take on patients and their families. While we are trained to deal with physical symptoms, the emotional impact of loss is often much harder to cope with.
Whether it’s the death of a patient, the loss of a limb, or the news that a loved one has a terminal illness, grappling with grief is a difficult and necessary part of our jobs. In many ways, the healthcare industry is a “house of sorrows” where we are constantly surrounded by death and suffering.
Loss can take a toll on our mental health, causing us to feel cynical, pessimistic, and even depressed. It’s important to remember that we are not alone in this – many healthcare workers are struggling with the same emotions.
If you are finding it difficult to cope, reach out to a friend or colleague for support. Together, we can help each other through this tough time.
These 8 Types of Therapy Help People Transform Their Lives
What does this really mean? Everyone would have access to resources for increasing self-awareness, self-regulation, and integration – a space to question, observe, and come to terms with the events in our lives.
Approximately one in ten American adults seek therapy, and 75% of them find benefits such as improved sleep, satisfaction, cognitive function, energy levels, and agency. Therapy is a great place – a low stakes environment – to improve communication skills and commit to beating addictions.
What makes therapy different from other relationships? The non-judgment factor. In a therapeutic setting, you’re sitting in a room with one (or several) people who are either (a) compassionately curious about what you’re going through, or (b) going through the same thing you’re going through. Many people do not wish to burden their significant others or loved ones with what they perceive to be stressful information, and a room full of strangers or with a knowledgeable professional reduces fears associated with sharing critical information.
