Health professionals are not immune to trauma. In fact, many are motivated to become healthcare professionals as a way of understanding and even healing their own wounds. They are also vulnerable to experiencing trauma in their personal lives just as much as anyone else is, and especially likely to be exposed to trauma in their work.&nbsp;In this episode, Paula is joined by Dr Yvonne Waft, a clinical psychologist and EMDR consultant.&nbsp;Yvonne is the author of a new book, published by Sequoia Books in association with the ACP-UK, called Coping with Trauma: Surviving and Thriving in the Face of Overwhelming Events.&nbsp;Yvonne talks about her own experiences of trauma, how these have informed her professional life, and how health professionals can look after themselves when they are impacted by traumatic events, either in work or in their personal lives.Yvonne’s details and links:Website: <a href="https://www.catalystclinpsy.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.catalystclinpsy.co.uk</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/waftyvonne?igsh=MTVnbnpnc2NiYnp2aw==" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@waftyvonne</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/catalystclinpsy/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr Yvonne Waft - Catalyst Clinical Psychology&nbsp;</a>X: <a href="https://twitter.com/catalystclinpsy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@catalystclinpsy</a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-yvonne-waft-63899241/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr Yvonne Waft</a>Book: <a href="https://www.sequoia-books.com/catalog/waft/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Coping With Trauma: Surviving and Thriving in the Face of Overwhelming Events - Sequoia Books</a>Other links:<a href="https://acpuk.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ACP-UK</a>___________I’d love to connect with you so do come and find me on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/drpaularedmond/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> or at my <a href="http://drpaularedmond.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">website</a> and do check out the <a href="https://acpuk.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ACP-UK</a> and everything it has to offer.<a href="https://podfollow.com/when-work-hurts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Follow and subscribe</a> so you don’t miss an episode!
