S2 E9 The Emergency Tool Box for Transformative Self-Care
<p>Many people value taking care of their loved ones but see taking care of themselves as selfish or a luxury they don’t have time for. But how do you take care of someone else if you’re sick or struggling? You can’t give what you don’t have.<br />
My guests, Bridgette Arnett, MD, PhD., Board certified in Neurology, Neurophysiology and Sleep Medicine; and Mawusi Arnett, MD, MPH, Board certified in Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine, discuss the emotional, mental, and physical barriers to optimal self-care. Plus self-compassion and an EMS (emergency medical service) tool box are essential for quality self-care, empowering you to give the best quality care to those who matter to you most.<br />
