Working in healthcare can be hugely rewarding. That doesn’t mean it’s easy.
Familiar with anxiety, fatigue, moral distress, anger, burnout, and vicarious trauma?
Are you struggling with fatigue, frustration, worry, anxiety, low mood, or burnout? Were you excited to enter into your profession and now find that you are struggling in it? Are you feeling isolated, unheard, or are family and friends seeing the toll on you? The problem is not you, your resilience, or your choice of career…
Healthcare in the United States is in crisis and the crisis started BEFORE the COVID-19 Pandemic.
As providers and healthcare workers, we can love what we do and struggle while we do it. The triple/quadruple aim, EHRs, insurance-driven care, culture decline, increased ability to support life, short staffing, RVUs and rubrics, endless email, and portal messages… these are just some of the stress points that providers, nurses, and others in the healthcare industry face.
The result? Increased burnout, vicarious trauma, decreased work-life balance… the list goes on. The stress affects all levels from the bedside to the C-Suite, and all areas in between.
The primary questions are:
- How do you sustain while working in an industry that needs systemic change?
- How do you feel better?
- How do you advocate for yourself and for change in these times?
- How do you protect yourself, your individual and family life, and the passion you have or had for your work?
As humans, we are the intersection where all the stress points in our professional and personal lives meet. Help in balancing and sustaining our well-being is critical to being able to persevere and find satisfaction in our lives and work. Counseling/coaching helps us learn how to change and to be agents of change in this time of crisis in healthcare.
That is why E&E Counseling was created. Our mission is to support and empower you.
