The relentless pace of patient trauma that Dr. Sandra and her team address at left little time to consider their own self-care. As a dedicated servant to the public health care system for over 33 years, Dr. Sandra and her team face difficult and emotionally draining events as they confront disease outbreaks and environmental devastation from storms and volcano eruptions.
Dr. Sandra used to push through stress or exhaustion, but the Glasswing training gave Dr. Sandra tools to process these emotions, allowing her to be a healthier doctor and a better doctor. Dr. Sandra received mental health training from Glasswing and saw it have an impact on her life from the first day.
Now, Dr. Sandra is committed to passing the Glasswing teachings along to groups of interns, residents, and doctors, while having more empathy for all. Today Dr. Sandra feels more centered in her work. She is compassionate with her patients and team while ensuring that she takes just as thoughtful care of herself.
