Post-traumatic growth and the power of self-compassion a conversation with Dr Amrita Sen Mukherjee
In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the NASGP podcast The art of GP locuming, Richard talks to Dr Amrita Sen Mukherjee — GP, wellbeing advocate, and founder of Your Wellbeing Doctor — about her extraordinary journey through medicine, motherhood, illness, and identity.Amrita shares how the challenges she faced during her GP training, including living with a hidden disability, ultimately led her to discover the concept of post-traumatic growth — transforming adversity into a purposeful new direction. She speaks candidly about the systemic pressures within general practice, the cultural barriers to self-compassion in medicine, and how she now supports other doctors through coaching, advocacy and education.This wide-ranging conversation offers GPs a moving reminder that it’s not weakness to struggle — and that growth often begins with self-kindness.YouTube – https://youtu.be/OZtFFWo8R7AInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/yourwellbeingdoctorX – https://x.com/YourwellbeingdrLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-amrita-sen-mukherjee/Website – https://www.yourwellbeing.doctorTEDx Talk entitled “Invisible disability: Challenging bias to enable change” – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro3SbU95qwcPublication – https://bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bjhp.12642
