Feelings are what make us human. Yet, in medicine, we get the message that we need to ignore, deny, or repress our feelings.This comes at a cost, a high cost sometimes. There is another way. Join me and my guest Dr. Jessi Gold as we investigate feelings, and especially feelings in medicine. Jessi Gold, MD, MS is the Chief Wellness Officer of the University of Tennessee System and an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. She is passionate about healthcare worker and college student mental health and burnout, and has a new book on those very topics, HOW DO YOU FEEL? One Doctor’s Search for Humanity in Medicine, out October 8th. Contact Dr. Gold via her website, www.drjessigold.com, or on social media at X, Instagram, or LinkedIn.
