Thrivival 101: A Fresh Take on Self-Care for Female Mental Health Clinicians
You Are Fabulous AND You Need a Resilience Plan: A Conversation with Dr. Marie-Helene Pelletier
As clinicians we’re familiar with the concept and importance of resilience but how many of us actually think about resiliency for ourselves? In this episode we speak with award winning workplace mental health expert and psychologist, Dr. Marie-Helene Pelletier about her recent book The Resilience Plan: A Strategic Approach to Optimizing Your Work Performance and Mental Health. Marie-Helene explains how a resilience plan differs from traditional self-care and identifies the key elements involved in developing a strategic resilience plan that’s as unique as our DNA. She also shares how value-driven work can place us at increased risk of burnout and the importance of not tipping too far toward optimism. We wrap up the episode by learning about a couple of activities that are regularly part of Marie-Helene’s strategic resilience plan.
