0169 | Psychological Strength for Our Front-Line Healthcare Workers

Published: April 15, 2020, 11 a.m.

This episode was created for and is dedicated to our front-line healthcare workers.\xa0 \xa0

The\xa0responsibility you are being asked to shoulder amidst a time of incredible uncertainty and rapid change is overwhelming.\xa0We see you. We see the sacrifice you\u2019re making. We can attempt to empathize with the emotional toll this must all be taking.\xa0 \xa0

When you play such an important role supporting others, it\u2019s important that others support you.\xa0We support you.\xa0

This week, I\u2019m speaking with Lisa\xa0Wimberger, the founder of the\xa0Neuroscultping Institute. Lisa created\xa0neurosculpting\xa0using a combination of meditation and brain science to develop a hands-on technique that can reset and retrain your brain and your nervous system to down-regulate during times of stress.\xa0

She originally created\xa0neurosculpting\xa0in 2007 to help first-responders\xa0cope with the incredible intensity of their jobs. Too many\xa0first-responders\xa0suffer emotional trauma and PTSD from simply doing their jobs, and the\xa0neurosculpting\xa0technique can help guard against that. \xa0

You can see why I asked Lisa to join me for this special episode of Building Psychological Strength. I wanted to give our front-line medical professionals tools they can use to remain balanced during a time of excruciating pressure.\xa0 \xa0

During our conversation, we:\xa0

  • Acknowledge the\xa0different situations healthcare workers are in\xa0and how stressful they all are, regardless of whether the \u201csurge\u201d has hit your area or not,\xa0
  • We talk about what\xa0we can do as\xa0community members to support healthcare workers\xa0
  • Lisa covers the\xa0role our nervous system is playing in this situation, including the way it is\xa0supposed\xa0to work, and the way it does work in a period of sustained stress.\xa0
  • What healthcare workers can be doing to help down-regulate their nervous system during this time.\xa0\xa0
  • Known ways you can\xa0tune your\xa0vagus\xa0nerve.\xa0
  • The 3 keys to successful neuroplasticity\xa0

This episode is packed with resources for everyone,\xa0but in particular, for\xa0front-line healthcare workers.\xa0\xa0

We also highlighted\xa0a number of\xa0resources\xa0
