Send us Fan Mail

In this conversation, Dr. Jessi Gold, Author of "How do you Feel?" discusses her book on mental health and burnout, particularly in the healthcare sector. She shares her personal experiences and insights on the subtlety of burnout, the cultural perceptions surrounding mental health, and the importance of self-care and compassion. The discussion emphasizes the need for individuals to recognize their own emotional states and the societal pressures that often prevent them from taking necessary breaks for mental health.

Dr. Gold advocates for a shift in how we view mental health issues, encouraging listeners to treat themselves with the same compassion they would offer a friend. In this conversation, we explore the complexities of emotional responses, particularly in caregiving roles. They discuss the importance of understanding and articulating feelings, the challenges of burnout, and the necessity of self-care and mindfulness.

The dialogue also addresses trauma, emotional disconnect, and the need for open conversations about mental health in the workplace. Jessi emphasizes that acknowledging one's feelings and experiences is crucial for personal well-being and for fostering supportive environments in caregiving professions.
