Dr. Kellie Stecher: Rejection sensitive dysphoria & professional burnout

Episode 104 with Dr. Kellie Stecher. “Many of our parents were of the mindset that you don’t need help, you don’t need therapy, you don’t need coaching, you don’t need medicine. You can just figure it out.” Dr. Stecher is an OBGYN and Co-Founder and President of Patient Care Heroes, as well as the Governor of the 7th district of the American Medical Women’s Association, and advisor to multiple other companies focusing on patient and staff safety, and mental health. She has won the Minneapolis/St. Paul Magazine’s Top Doctors' Rising Star award for the last three years. She was recently runner-up for The Sharp Index: Physician Well-being Leader of the Year.  She also won a silver Anthem Award.  She is the author of the book “Delivering,” a powerful personal memoir meant to empower women, mothers, working women, and women in healthcare. Dr. Stecher and I talk about rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) and what it looks like starting in childhood and then following us into adulthood. We also talk about emotional bandwidth, boundaries, and professional burnout, especially in healthcare. Trigger Warning: We discuss sexual abuse in this episode, so if that’s a difficult topic for you, you might want to skip this interview.
