Have you ever gone to the emergency room?
Have you ever thought of how emergency doctors face stress?
Have you ever considered how an emergency doctor manages anxiety as part of their work life?

It was a treat to hear from Dr. Hoffman on how he:
Manages stress when taking care of multiple patients at once Makes decisions when working with patients with acute conditions Deals with interpersonal stress Performs a “mental triage” Juggles all tasks-medical and administrative-during his work shifts
Are the best E.R. doctors the best jugglers?
What can we learn from them?
What can you learn from them?

Two hours at dinner. You were there for about twenty minutes of it.
There is a difference between having a description and being one.
There's an email that's been sitting in your drafts for eleven days, and the only thing stopping it is one sentence in your head that you've never checked. This episode is about defusion, one of the six core processes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and about what happens when a thought and the world get glued together so tightly you can't tell them apart.
Your mind runs a control agenda all day long. Some of its strategies are obvious: distraction, keeping busy, opting out. And some look nothing like control at all: the silver lining, the blessing count, the lesson. Same job, better manners. This episode is about acceptance, the first of the six processes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and about the half of the definition almost nobody teaches.
You're not avoiding the conversation. You're avoiding how it will feel to have it.
