“The impact of stress on the body is well known going back to the research of Hans Selye and the general adaptation syndrome, that when organisms are under prolonged stress and inescapable stress, the body begins to break down in predictable ways.” -Dr. James F. Zender
In today’s episode, Dr. Jen Barna welcomes Dr. James F. Zender to the podcast. Dr. Zender is a clinical psychologist, certified brain injury specialist and certified traumatologist. Dr. Zender shares about his childhood and how it led him to the field of psychology. He and Dr. Barna discuss the effects of stress and trauma on physicians and what can be done about it. They also discuss the significant benefits of professional coaching in a group setting. Dr. Zender has created a burnout inventory and he shares with us some of the questions from it that may be helpful in assessing where you are on the burnout scale. He also has a trauma toolkit for healthcare professionals available on his website. If you would like to learn more about Dr. Zender, visit https://drjameszender.com
