WHAT'S NEW

I have recently completed Trauma Informed Care training with #PhoenixAustralia – It’s really incredible how aligned coaching is with trauma informed care. Both are strengths based, promote control and autonomy, promote connections and hold positive expectations for the future. So many doctors have experienced traumatic events in their professional lives – ranging from exposure to death/pain/suffering, workplace bullying, making a medical error and having a complaint made. It is more important than ever that these events and their impacts on professional and personal wellbeing be considered.
