Today I gave the 1st Emotional Intelligence Workshop for interns/med studs at my residency program. Today's workshop was about emotional self-awareness. We started w/ interactive game & case study, also gave this out to track moods - thanks @gretchemaben for the graphic! Success!

@HarryZeitMD Like everyday in residency....As an attending now, I try to embed my personality more into my practice. I like to laugh and joke around with patients, it puts us both in a better place and more open to each other

How often have you felt that it's not okay to feel or express yourself?

Irene Lyon, MSc.@Irene_Lyon

When we don’t get the signal from the outside that it’s okay to feel or express ourselves, we start to go into survival mechanisms.

@HarryZeitMD Thank you! Yes, I thought it was good too :-) I grew to miss my patients, and now I love talking to them again. It was a joy to come back. I love hearing their stories, and am learning to balance it again

@DoctorsRHuman So many people don't when that's what they desperately need. Good for taking care of yourself and taking the time you needed after residency.

A physician health program that tells you (& I'm a therapist!) that when you're burned out, you need therapy & yoga (I won't even touch on 'mindfulness') is a lie. You need time off to recover. Then therapy & embodied practice to support the recovery, 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒊𝒕.

@ScottVernaglia Thank you so much for this! This is the way to lead into the future! If the current leaders can't model good behavior, how can we expect trainees to do so? ❤️💪🩺

In the spirit of sharing #vulnerability: creating a new talk is always anxiety provoking for me - my brain creates countless failure stories Walking past this prominent sign in a main corridor isn't helping But, no risk, no growth - partners.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

@HomelEssdocCAN Of course you're right. It can definitely be straightforward. Didn't mean to minimize or group everything into one bucket. Sometimes bad stuff just happens, over which you have limited, or no control.

@DoctorsRHuman It's not all deep dark stuff. If there is nothing to eat, or your are exposed to extreme heat - it's not the past trauma. Sometimes it's straightforward.

How to get up if every time you try, the world pushes you back?

When the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray.

@HarryZeitMD So true! I learned this from my experience at Esalen, and ever since I have been taking great pains to allow the groups that I am part of to feel as safe as possible, both for my own healing and that of others. It's been a wild ride!

In healing trauma: "While understanding and insight can be supportive, it is right-brain immersion in fields of safety which fosters cellular restructuring. The psyche will reassemble when it feels safe. The body will reorganize when it feels safe." ~ Matt Licata

@HarryZeitMD I don't know those folks but looks like I will be looking them up! You always got pearls of gold on here :-)

@HarryZeitMD I know right?? Like it's as if Freud felt so impotent in his life from the influence of his mother, that he had to project strength onto the male and ignored women & their personhood altogether. It comes down to Freud's relationship with his mother and how it colored EVERYTHING

English

Harry J Zeit MD@HarryZeitMD·5 Mar

@DoctorsRHuman I just read the article and enjoyed it. Thanks! It was interesting to reflect on how Freud's relationship with his mother affected the beginnings of psychoanalysis. And I learned a lot about Otto Rank as well.
