Connection
You may have picked up Healing for Healers because you are supporting a colleague who has lost a patient to suicide. Do not forget to offer your unconditional support. I am here for you, you can call me any day anytime if you want to talk things through or just a shoulder to lean on. Saying something doesn’t make it better, what makes it better is connection. If you have your own story to share, do so without making it about yourself. To be truly empathic one has to reach within and connect with that place that knows that feeling.
Everyone comes to work to do a good job. But sometimes bad things happen. When they do, its time to take time to H - E - A - L.
H - Hindsight Hurts
Hindsight strips away all the complexity and simplifies cause and effect. Thinking how did I not see this is unfair. Be kind to your self.
E - Event ~ Non-event
The significant event reminds us of the gravity of our work. Take time to remember the daily small wins when we steer people’s lives for the better. As “non-events” we generally take them for granted.
A - Accept, Affirm
The emotions you experience today are nature’s signal to you that you are a kind and compassionate human being, accept and affirm these feelings.
L - Look, Listen, Learn
Look after yourself, you cannot pour from an empty cup, listen to your colleagues, many have been on this journey and use this adversity to grow.
