#236: Workplace bullying contributed to PA Emily Haynie's burnout and her decision to resign, but she rediscovered joy and healing by writing a fantastic book of stories about her time as a clinician!

In this conversation, we discuss Emily's journey from being a PA to becoming a writer. We explore the challenges faced during the pandemic, the recognition of burnout, and the healing power of writing. Emily shares her experiences in the medical field, the process of writing her book 'Behind Clinic Doors', and the personal growth she has experienced through this journey. The discussion also touches on the importance of seeking support and the excitement of new projects on the horizon.If you notice you’re no longer doing your best work, this can be a sign of burnout.No matter your loyalty to your patients and your coworkers, your own needs must be prioritized, otherwise you’ll come to a breaking point.  Family members might realize you’re burned out before you doEven when you make the right choice, you still might have uncertainty and it still may not feel good.  You get to choose where you channel your energy.  Will you ruminate over the past or find somewhere new to put your energy?Having a goal to work toward can be healing.Writing down stories can be tremendously therapeutic. It can give you a sense of gratitude and help you remember the enjoyable times.  With any goal, remember you’ll never be perfect and there’s no wrong way to do it.  Keep persevering.It can be terrifying to put yourself out there, but if you know deep down it’s meant to be, it will fill you up.  If you’re struggling, tell someone you trust, and look into workplace benefits regarding this.  CONNECT WITH EMILYWebsite: Emily HaynieFB, LinkedInAmazon book, Behind Clinic DoorsCOACHING WITH HOPEMy next Masterclass Series for Clinicians starts 3/18.
