Healing from medical training by learning to trust your body again

Physician Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Learning to trust your body again: Healing the hidden wounds of medical training," exploring how the culture of medicine conditions physicians to ignore their basic bodily needs in the pursuit of excellence. Jessie explains how this disconnection erodes trust in self, contributes to burnout, and undermines both personal well-being and professional leadership. She shares how rebuilding trust through mindfulness, acceptance, and compassion allows physicians to heal, lead sustainably, and model healthier practices for patients and teams. Listeners will walk away with practical strategies for honoring their bodies, shifting perspective with small changes, and embracing presence over performance.
