Burnout with Dr Emily Amos
from Medical Mums chat Hosted by Medical Mums Pods
Dr Emily Amos is a GP and Board Certified Lactation Consultant who has walked a meandering path through medicine. Always intrigued by the role of mind/body complex in health she had already begun to pursue qualifications in yoga and meditation when she herself burnt out in clinical medicine in 2019. Using the outlet of blogging during her recovery she reflected on the path that lead her to burning out and how she could see many of her colleagues in similar states of distress. Now a qualified yoga and meditation teacher, she runs courses specifically for doctors to help them to understand how mastering skills such as mindfulness and self compassion can in fact make us not only happier, calmer people but also help us to better deal with the demands of this often challenging profession. You can find out more about Emily’s courses or read her blogs via her website www.dremilyamos.com We encourage anyone who recognises their own burnout while listening to seek some support and here is a list of places you might start. http://www.dhaswa.com.au/ https://www.blackdoginstitute.org.au/the-essential-network/ https://theburnoutproject.com.au/ https://drolivialeeong.com/ https://wholeheartedmedicine.com.au/ Lifeline 131114 Please send through any resources you recommend and I will update this list in an ongoing manner.
