The Burnout Breakthrough: Wellness & Self-Care for Women in Medicine
Summary
- Recognizing Burnout: Burnout manifests in emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a diminished sense of accomplishment. It can also lead to physical symptoms, such as sleep disturbances and muscle tension.
- Steps to Recovery: Dr. Rubino emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, mindfulness, and engaging in practices such as self-care, reducing work hours, and seeking coaching or therapy.
- Prioritizing Wellness: Self-care isn’t optional—just as putting on your own oxygen mask first is essential for survival, so is making time for your well-being. Seek professional help if you're struggling with mental health challenges.
