Burnout in Healthcare: Overcoming Emotional Detachment with Dr. Jessi Gold

Burnout is a harsh reality for healthcare professionals, often leading to depersonalization-a defense mechanism that shields clinicians from the emotional impact of witnessing trauma daily. But what happens when this detachment leads to emotional numbness, both at work and at home?
In this powerful episode, we dive deep with Dr. Jessi Gold, psychiatrist and Chief Wellness Officer at the University of Tennessee, to uncover how burnout impacts healthcare providers. From feeling like you’re "just going through the motions" to struggling with alexithymia (the inability to identify your own emotions), Dr. Gold shares real stories from her work with healthcare workers who feel disconnected from their patients-and themselves.
