A physician health program that tells you (& I'm a therapist!) that when you're burned out, you need therapy & yoga (I won't even touch on 'mindfulness') is a lie. You need time off to recover.
Then therapy & embodied practice to support the recovery, πππ πππππππ ππ.
Thank you Kimberly D. Manning, MD, for your words that paint a mosaic moment of humanity, and for all that you do, and for all that you areβ€οΈπβ€οΈ

Our hearts shadowed & strange
But only when everything hurts
May everything change'

Thank you Dr. Valentina Stoycheva /STEPS/ for posting. Pain is often the catalyst for change.
I had a near miss on the road while driving 1 hr home after spending 28 hrs in the hospital (was told to stay for AM lectures). I was prying my eyes open & praying that I would make it home, because I didn't want to sleep for 8 hrs on the side of a highway #ItDoesntHave2BeThisWay
