Restorative Coaching for Physicians and Other Healthcare Professionals

For those who care for others

physician_burnoutA Mayo Clinic study published in August 2012 in the Archives of Internal Medicine* and reported in the New York Times indicated close to 50% of the physicians surveyed reported at least one symptom of burnout. It also found burnout is more common among physicians than workers in the U.S. as a whole, and that those in specialties on the “front lines,” such as primary care and emergency medicine, were at the greatest risk. And things are not getting any better according to reports in 2015 by Medscape and the Mayo Clinic.**  This appears to be a global phenomenon.

The authors described burnout as a syndrome marked by:

  • emotional exhaustion – loss of enthusiasm for work
  • a low sense of accomplishment, and
  • depersonalization – feelings of cynicism

Are you experiencing any of the following?

  • feelings of physical and mental exhaustion
  • a sense of detachment
  • loss of empathy and patience
  • irritability
  • feelings of being overwhelmed
  • loss of passion for the work
  • sleep that is no longer restorative
  • decreased ability to function at the same level

Simply put, this end-stage stress is a combination of persistent emotional exhaustion, physical fatigue, and cognitive weariness.

Do you feel it’s all slipping away?
First, take the time to make sure there is not an underlying medical condition which would explain your symptoms. Then, once you have been medically “cleared,” coaching may be just what you need.

Tweaking Tips

Year in Review
Take 30 minutes to reflect on all the good things that happened and the obstacles you have overcome over the past 12 months.

Ebb and Flow
When it feels like you’re on a nightmarish rollercoaster ride that will never end, what would happen if you stopped screaming and tried to flow for a while with the ups and downs instead of fighting against them?

Live Life
Decide to make the commitment over the next 12 months to live as if there really might be no tomorrow.

Good From Bad
When things don’t turn out the way you would like, stop for a moment and ask yourself “Is there a lesson I can learn from this experience?” (You might as well get something good out of a bad situation, right?)

Your stress may be a gift:
a warning signal that it is finally time to make the changes you’ve been putting off.

Past, Present, Future
Reflect back over the past 3 months and identify 3 moments which brought you joy, peace, excitement, energy, or gratitude. How can you create more of them?

Where You Look, You Go
Be honest and assess how much time and energy you have spent on your true priorities in life.

Work With, Not Against
Instead of battling your body, develop tools to work with it.

Even if it is just 60 seconds twice a day …
Take the time to just stop and breathe for a moment. It will slow down your engine, allow you to regroup, and enable you to focus with greater clarity.

Why wait for an epiphany?
Your body may be sounding the alarm that could save your life.
