Compassion Sharing®️
A Theoretically-Informed 4-step Communication Tool
Sharing an impactful feeling from compassionate care of patients is an opportunity for integration into more meaningful work, through the Compassion Sharing Model®️. Over time, Compassion Sharing with your community of peers becomes ritualized during the workday to replenish one’s cup and carry on.
Compassion sharing®️ challenges the myths around resiliency and burnout in medical practice
Debunking myths
In actuality...
- There is not enough time to talk about feelings that arise in healthcare while on the job.
- Talking about feelings during the workday opens up a floodgate of emotion that interferes with focus on work.
- I can take care of myself on my own outside of the workday.
- For the day-to-day experiences, it often only takes a few minutes to process an impactful feeling, with the Compassion Sharing Model as an integrative framework.
- To the contrary, holding in impactful emotions hinders concentration and can brew and bottle over, contributing to decreased focus, even medical errors, and burnout.
- Yes…and… you deserve a workplace that holistically supports you as a compassionate human being, rather than putting the burden completely on you to deal with impactful feelings outside of work on your own.
