    thank you for this invaluable information for health care providers in all facets of practice.

    as a CRNA, Nurse Anesthetist, practicing over two decades in California I have seen a major negative shift in the emotional well-being of anesthesia colleagues, MDs and CRNAs alike. As one of your speakers beautifully articulated, to get out of your head you must go to the most distal part of the body, the feet. I think it was Dr. Kotecha:) Thank you so much for that as I have already used this in situations, COVID climate, where my mind was “let’s go intubate now” and within seconds my body guided by my feet was like hold up, think this through, don’t be mindless, but be mindful of yourself and other front-line colleagues. My feet have now become my anchor!

    COVID on top of the stressors to health care providers BC( before coved) the need for mental wellness is critical.
    Also, appreciate the discussion by Dr. Rushton; it hit home at many levels and will purchase the package to share with junior and senior colleagues

    Thank you so much!

    Excellent conversation. Very enlightening. I would like to have more information about MEPRA. I am a Professor of Bioethics at a University Nursing School in Monterrey, México, trained and a practitioner of Mindfulness. Congratulations to both of you.

    Thank you so much. Although I am not a nurse, as a psychologist I encounter many of the challenges presented. So very useful.
    Deep bow with appreciation.

    Prior to the COVID 10 pandemic, I was working on an article–Moral Resilience in Correctional Nursing. I am a Nurse Educator for the Department of Corrections in my state.The pandemic shifted my focus from writing an article to providing education for the nurses who care for incarcerated patients.
    This presentation was very helpful and something I will refer back to in the upcoming months. I think my nurses would benefit from this presentation/
    Thank you.

    Two things struck me: 1. The fact that we are able to feel moral distress when our values are compromised is an indicator that we are normal
    2. Our resilience arises put of our encounter with adversity. These are powerful statements that hold the ring of truth based on my own life experiences. Thank you for a very affirming and inspiring presentation.

  9. Andrew Wordsworth October 2, 2020 at 12:25 am

    Thank you. There is much wisdom here. I shall look forward to working my way through the rest of the presentations.

      Stunning!! I have learned a lot with you both…congrats for your hard work!

  15. Bruce Grayson October 1, 2020 at 8:18 pm

    Interesting discussion on somatic inputs from the body, those that react to integrity threat assessment earlier than our executive conscious awareness. We often think of only physical threats being mediated by the amygdala. It makes perfect sense that other complex treats or toxic situations are also mediated there.

  16. Kevan Webb October 1, 2020 at 7:53 pm

    This is so powerful for a layman to really grasp what the medical staff have been through or still going through.

  17. BettyJo McCabe October 1, 2020 at 7:44 pm

    That was a gem to watch. Thank you both for your contributions!

  18. Elzbieta October 1, 2020 at 7:21 pm

    Not often is talked the topic of this presentation. A lot of wise sentences I have heard here.

  19. Jean Ellis-Sankari October 1, 2020 at 6:15 pm

    Thank you,
    This is excellent!
