These responses are why I gave up family medicine to focus on #trauma. The world is suffering and people are finally talking about it. Join me on ⏰ as tiktoktraumadoc or check out @ModernTrauma for an explanation and solutions.
Sold >130 copies at the Boston Trauma conference. The buzz was ecstatic. If we could tell someone about the book, >80% purchased. It’s filling a clear need - a gentle, nourishing book that has all the foundational knowledge and skills people need.
Sold out!!! Brought 50 books to Boston at the Trauma Research Foundation and they sold out in less than two days. Even sold the ones earmarked for NYC. Good thing @HachetteUS @porchlightbooks @TRFNews is able to hook me up to more - arriving tomorrow!! ModernTrauma.com

Excellent thread on how we MD can do better by our complex patients. #MedicalTrauma is pervasive.

Before sharing, I will adamantly state that I do not owe anyone this private experience. I'm sharing it in the event that it would validate others or encourage folks to not be passive bystanders to any abuse in on or offline. I'd also ask that white readers not fetishize this: 1/
One thing I always find helpful in therapy is to suggest saying “There is (emotion)… ” rather than “I am (emotion)… ” Because the more you identify as being this emotion, the higher likelihood it could get stuck. A 🧵
The key is to make sure the emotion doesn’t become your sense of identity “a sad person” rather than simply being “a person experiencing sadness.” Emotions last 90 seconds on average - so the practice is learning how to let them flow. It’s common to get stuck for a time.
