 Course Description

What is this course about?

Healthcare professionals are experiencing escalating levels of physical and emotional exhaustion, and many are questioning their ability to maintain their calling as healers in a society that is experiencing a crisis of inner ecology - just as devastating as the outer environment climate crisis. Current approaches to addressing healthcare professional burnout have often proven inadequate, and may even exacerbate symptoms. Integrative models of health and healing provide a pathway for addressing burnout and supporting flourishing among healers. This presentation builds upon the mythology of the wounded healer that describes a clear roadmap back to flourishing, which combines the perennial wisdom of ancient healing traditions with the power and genius of modern scientific approaches. A review of the mythology of the wounded healer and current models of contemplative neuroscience, trauma, and integrative physiology will be discussed. Most importantly, the model describes simple practices that can transform the practice of medicine from an exhausting workload into an enlivening experience.
