Counseling for Medical Professionals

A daunting challenge

Medical professionals face daunting challenges in their day to day work life.

Exhaustion and stress are particularly common, and at least some of their suffering is intricately connected to a healthcare system that is fragmented, fatigue-inducing and corrosive.

Medical professionals may also feel ineffective, especially when working with persons with serious and/or chronic illness. Guilt and some level of disengagement from their patients and families is common.

The negative impact on one’s ability to practice with abiding compassion and provide unwavering high quality care is acute.

To add to the hardship, friends and family and the public can be unsympathetic and ignore, reject or misunderstand their plight.

Finding a way forward

As a chaplain and counselor, I have helped medical professionals come to terms with a growing sense of disengagement, dissatisfaction or frustration in their patient care work.

I help them find the inner strength and capacity to identify and cope with pressing emotional and spiritual challenges that can feel insurmountable.

Making a connection between these experienced emotions and their influence on clinical behavior and decisions, especially those that may undermine or interfere with high quality care, is part of the redemptive process.

Let’s talk

If you’re tired of feeling wrung out or disengaged in your work, and compassion and care towards others and yourself are eroding, let’s talk.

If you’re tired of feeling numb or angry or resigned to your circumstances, and you want to wake up to something better, let’s talk.
