You want to be an excellent clinician and also a happy person. You can have both. At IPI we support both the clinician you and the person you.
If you work in palliative care (or care for seriously ill patients) you know that balancing empathy and boundaries is a challenge.
Too much empathy with mushy boundaries = burnout
But too little empathy with inflexible boundaries is not the kind of clinician you want to be.
You may find yourself bouncing between giving too much and then pulling way back to protect your own wellbeing.
None of it feels quite right.
Maybe you wonder if you're doing something wrong. There might be a voice in your head telling you that other people are handling it all better than you are. (Spoiler - they aren't).
Here's what doesn't work:
Here's an uncomfortable truth:
If you don't make a change now, a year (or two, or five) will pass and you'll be in exactly the same situation.
If you work in palliative or serious illness care you know that many people wait to create the life they want, and then get a devastating diagnosis and miss their chance.
Do not let this happen to you.
Creating a joyful and meaningful life is primarily an inside job.
You can create a life that fills you up even if your job is hard.
You can set boundaries and still be a loving person.
You can quiet the judgy voice in your head.
You can rediscover your light and your sparkle.
Life is short. Create the life you want.
You don't need a coach to do this, you can do it on your own. Just please don't stay in a life that makes you feel frustrated, overwhelmed, or trapped.
You are not trapped.
If you'd like a guide to help you create the life you want, reach out below. We are all just "walking each other home," and I would be honored to help you on your journey.
Medications are powerful but sometimes they aren't enough.
How do you handle a patient with chronic pain who is still suffering despite significant pain meds?
How can you help an anxious patient without benzodiazepines?
If you want an evidence-supported, integrative approach to help you manage your patients' symptoms, you're in the right place.
A bigger toolbox makes caring for patients easier. Yet if you don't know which complementary modalities are evidence supported and safe, it can be hard to know what to recommend to your patients.
How do you suggest stress management or relaxation exercises without your patients feeling like you're blowing them off? Which patients should you send for acupuncture? How do you handle challenging family members? How do you do this difficult work and still take care of your own wellbeing?
These are learnable skills
.
This course will expand your treatment toolbox and give you the confidence to know what to use when and for whom. Your patients will feel better and you'll feel better too.
