HAPPINESS, WELLNESS AND RESILIENCY
I believe that caring for others should make us caregivers feel incredibly good. But we don't. In fact many of us, more than half even, don't feel good at all and are already in some stage of compassion fatigue or burnout. I'm here to change all that. Through my work, I've been able to uncover and dismantle the big lie that we've been taught and brought with us into our practice that I have found to be the cause of this dis-ease. This lie, this big myth, is that we have to keep our professional distance in order to be better caregivers.
In its place, I teach that to do better, we do not need to step back, but rather we need to take a step forward and connect more fully with the hurting human in front of us. When we take this step forward, we engage what I call the protocol of True Care. It is through True Care that we will find healing, on both sides of the stethoscope.

LATEST SOS (Shot of Satisfaction)Coming Home...To Myself
Five years ago, when I decided to move to Manhattan, I had a very different vision of what the next five years would look like. I had just published my first book, Back From Burnout; Seven steps to healing from compassion fatigue and rediscovering (y)our heart of care. I had researched and come to know everything that could be known about empathy, compassion, physician wellness and resiliency. I knew that compassion was the cure for what ails us in healthcare.
But knowing something intellectually and knowing it “internally” are two vastly different things. Knowledge is intellectual. Wisdom is internal and unshakable. Wisdom is knowing something within every fiber of our being and it is earned when we move through actual, challenging, and all consuming life experiences that teach us about the very nature of our existence. |

BACK FROM BURNOUT
Seven Steps to Healing from Compassion Fatigue and Rediscovering (Y)our Heart of Care
|
By If you work in any aspect of healthcare this book is for you. I have been searching for this book for a long time, and just reading the preview on Amazon.com moved me to tears. YES! Someone FINALLY understand what it is like to work in healthcare. And, I am not alone in the feelings I have been having. More importantly are the reasons that I feel and respond the way that I do, and that someone is finally writing about them. And even more importantly, someone cares and yes I can change the feelings/perception of burnout into something positive! Dr. Gabrin's unique perspective as a Emergency Room doctor combined with his spiritual insight makes for an uplifting and fascinating read. His knowledge of the neurology and physics and his techniques are nothing short of groundbreaking. As a 2 time cancer survivor and thriver, he has experience as he puts it "On both sides of the stethoscope". |
