From Burnout To Balance (Part 4 with Dr. Jessi Gold)

When your job is to care for others, who takes care of you?   In the final installment of this powerful series, psychiatrist Dr. Jessi Gold and host Patrick Custer dive into the unspoken weight carried by mental health professionals. From the hidden rules of psychiatry that discourage vulnerability to the culture of silence around clinicians' own pain, this episode unpacks the cost of being seen as a blank slate.   We explore: -Why psychiatrists are trained to be “blank slates” in the room and how that limits real connection -The stigma professionals face when they admit they’re struggling -How disclosure, when done intentionally, can strengthen therapeutic relationships -The emotional toll of pretending to be unaffected by trauma, grief, and loss -What it means to create space for clinicians to be fully human too   This isn’t just about burnout, it’s about breaking cycles of emotional suppression, challenging the “Fight Club” mentality of mental health care, and reimagining what healing can look like on both sides of the conversation.   If you’ve ever wondered where the healer turns to heal, this episode is for you.   This is your mind. This is your moment. What will you do with it?   __________________
