SHOW NOTES:
In a second episode, next level physician Dr. Pam Pappas and I took the conversation to another level once again as we went deeper about bringing the soul back into medicine and just how we begin to restore our souls as physicians & medical providers.
Highlights from the conversation:
Dr. Pamela Pappas
● Integrative psychiatrist. Personal and executive coach for physicians.
● Founder and CEO of Wholehearted Doctoring
● One fellowship in mental health services research, and another one in consultation liaison psychiatry. Bringing together mind and spirit.
● As a psychiatrist, and in her years as a coach, she has heard the following words coming from medical professionals too many times: “I feel like I've lost my soul.”
Doctors: What to do with the current ongoing trauma?
● We are in the middle of a disaster that’s not like any other disaster we’ve faced before. Usually, after a couple of days or weeks we are able to check the damages and rebuild. This is not the case. And if the perpetuity of this situation isn’t enough, there’s another factor that weighs into medical experts: They are constantly doubted. People say that what doctors do and say is a hoax, that numbers are inflated, that these are all lies. These are heavy things to carry on for a long time. An ongoing trauma.
● It’s important for doctors to strengthen their inner connection to not be washed away by ignorant and hurtful comments from people and the media. We are talking about relying on the spiritual side. (This is not necessarily about religion)
● It can be hard to help someone establish a relationship with their own emotions, especially if they are not used to it. Some even get to the point of dissociation (because with such an amount of stress, the mind needs some sort of escape).
How to reconnect to one’s soul?
● This is very individualized. Several factors are important. What’s your current way of life and what’s your ideal life? What gives you peace? What keeps you grounded? What brings you joy? What does it look, feel, smell, taste like?
● You probably already have what you need to head towards a connection with your spiritual side.
● Then, it’s all about willing to let yourself go of external factors that won’t nourish your internal values. Give yourself permission to slow down
● Give yourself permission to feel, to feel good.
