It would be naive of me not to admit that I'm naive. It will have an emotional toll on you, and if you don't think it will or that the work doesn't impact you, then you are likely headed for a breakdown or collapse of function in some way at some point in your career and, simply put, it's just naive thinking.
Ever wished you could go back and give your younger self some advice? In this episode of 'Is This All There Is?', Todd Brossart takes a candid look at his own early days in the healthcare field. With over a decade of experience in hospitals and mental health clinics, Todd reflects on how his initial naivete impacted both his professional and personal life.
He admits to once believing he was immune to the stress and emotional toll of the job, only to find out the hard way that he wasn't. Drawing from his own experiences, Todd dives into the importance of self-awareness for healthcare providers. He references the insightful paper 'Self-awareness Questions for Effective Psychotherapists' by Samuel Knapp, Michael Gottlieb, and Mitchell Handelsman, which offers valuable questions for self-reflection.
Todd encourages listeners to consider their own naivete and how it affects their work and relationships. This episode is a must-listen for anyone in the healthcare industry who wants to better understand the emotional challenges they face and learn how to navigate them with greater self-awareness.
