Healthcare professionals are generally successful people who are accustomed to stress. Unfortunately, over the course of a career, the stress intensifies as personal and professional pressures mount.
Circumstances change, but we tend to rely on coping strategies that are no longer helpful.
Rather than “white knuckling” it through the high-intensity periods, consider getting some added training. Learn how to respond to stressful experiences with new tools. Also learn to set firmer boundaries and enhance self-care.
Always take good care of yourself. We need dedicated professionals like you!
The very best to you all.
