This disease is so powerful, and I know, I remind myself and I tell a patient this: if you had diabetes and you messed up and you kept going back to the hospital because you weren't following your diet or you didn't take your medicine, you come back to get help.
What happens when the healers need healing? In this compelling episode of Recovery Radio, hosted by Audacy, Amanda Kimball, a Clinical Supervisor, and Terri Labik, a dedicated nurse at Retreat, dive into the often overlooked challenges faced by healthcare professionals treating addiction. With firsthand experiences and heartfelt stories, they discuss the emotional, mental, and physical toll that comes with this demanding field. Amanda and Terri share practical tips on avoiding burnout, emphasizing the importance of self-care and empathy.
They tackle the heavy burden of shame and guilt that both patients and professionals carry, offering strategies to manage these intense emotions. Amanda poignantly compares addiction to other chronic illnesses like diabetes, highlighting the need for continuous support and understanding. This episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in addiction treatment or those curious about the behind-the-scenes struggles of healthcare providers.
It's a raw, honest conversation that sheds light on the resilience required to help others while taking care of oneself.
