I wanted to share this interview with you all, in this challenging time. It’s an interview I conducted this past week with my dear friend Laura van Dernoot Lipsky of TraumaStewardship.com. She’a an expert in caring for people who care for people in trauma—like nurses and first-responders.
I’d wanted to talk with her because I’ve been feeling so much concern for my friends and family in health care, and like all of us I’ve been disturbed by what we’ve been reading about the workers in health care in Italy, Seattle, NYC and beyond. I wanted her advice on how to support them.
In talking to her, though, I came to realize that her methods for supporting caretakers is also excellent advice for how we all can support OURSELVES through this.
I hope you find this as helpful as I did. And of course please share it with anyone whom you think might benefit from it.
Stay safe, and look out for one another,
Katie
