Specialized Mental Health Treatment

Mental Health Treatment for Healthcare Workers in Florida

At Dr. Paul’s by the Sea, we offer mental health treatment services that are designed specifically to meet the needs of healthcare workers and the requirements of their unions and employers. Our Mental Health treatment center in Florida, FL, specializes in caring for the healthcare workers who care for others. We offer both residential and outpatient treatment programs to suit the individualized needs of our clients. We provide the tools that you need to get back to your best self and return to work safely.

Mental Health Challenges in the Healthcare Industry

Caring for others makes it hard to care for yourself - and this has never been truer than for healthcare professionals working through a pandemic. Even if you are not directly treating infectious patients, the industry had been turned on its head, creating a new level of stress and uncertainty that is affecting the mental health of professionals in new and destructive ways.

If you or a loved one are a medical professional experiencing negative mental health symptoms in response to work-related stresses, seeking treatment is the best thing you can do for yourself and your patients. Learn more about Dr. Paul's By The Sea's mental health treatment for healthcare professionals.

Common Signs and Symptoms of Nurse Burnout

Doctors, nurses, respiratory technicians, orderlies, EMTs - everyone is vulnerable to burnout. As a result of today's fast pace high-tech healthcare environment, healthcare workers are taking on more and more responsibility every day.

Left unchecked, nurse burnout can seriously take a toll on health care workers' mental and physical state. Sometimes feeling a little worn out can progress to a more serious mental health state that deserves time and attention to recover.

Being aware of nurse burnout early can give you the best chance to avoid it or treat it. A few common sign and symptoms of nurse burnout include:

 
 

Stress

Stress manifests itself in many ways. Some of the most noticeable signs that you are experiencing an untenable level of stress include irritability, physical muscle tension and pain, disturbed sleep, and weight changes. All of these features can make it difficult to perform at the same level in your job and personal life.

Anxiety

Anxiety caused by professional burnout does not have to turn into stress focused on job performance. You may feel stable in your job, or you feel excessively worried about your patients after witnessing trauma. You may dread going back to work and find ways to reschedule shifts or take days off.

Depression

When you just don't care anymore it's tempting to write it off as simply burnout. The truth is, the constant stress of your job in the healthcare industry may have launched your body into clinical depression, marked by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and apathy.

"This place changed my life! I came in wanting help and was willing to do anything. The nurses and counselors truly care and showed me a new way to live. I am forever grateful to this place. Thank you!"

What Is Compassion Fatigue?

Compassion fatigue happens in every job, but it might just feel worse when you're a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare professional.

At the end of the day, there's no guilt in a retail worker feeling completely uninterested in their customer's choice between a red sweater and a green one. But for healthcare professionals, the stakes are higher. It doesn't feel good to have an ambivalence towards your patients' health and survival.

If you're experiencing compassion fatigue in nursing, it's time to find a way to rest your mindset away from the job. This can help you be more present when you're on shift.

Self-Care Tips

Use Your PTO

You earn your personal time, so use it when you can. Even if you only leave work early one afternoon to fit in some time doing something you enjoy (a hike, a manicure, time with your kids) this time spent on yourself can be the recharge you need.

Maintain Healthy Sleep & Diet

This may feel impossible depending on your professional situation or rapidly changing shift needs. But healthy sleep and diet are physical necessities to your own survival. Nobody gets a prize for only sleeping four hours between shifts or eating the most microwave burritos in a week.

Ask for Help

Call in friends or family for help managing chores that cut into your sleep or to drop off meals when you're in a particularly grueling schedule. Nobody does it alone. Whether they have a spouse who gets all the laundry and grocery shopping done or they can afford to order healthy meal delivery, your colleagues are probably all relying on aid from someone else. You should, too!

Consider a New Position

What was once an exhilarating fast-paced position is now a slog to get through every day. As our lives change, sometimes our jobs must as well. With the diverse options available in the healthcare field, consider finding a position that will be a better fit for your schedule and your physical and emotional needs.

Seek Treatment

If your feelings of burnout have progressed to disrupting your personal or professional life in significant ways, it's time to seek treatment. Stress, anxiety, and depression come with a myriad of emotional and physical symptoms that you shouldn't have to live with. Seek treatment today.

The Treatment Process at Dr. Paul's By The Sea

At Dr. Paul's By The Sea, we provide both inpatient and intensive outpatient programs. For those seeking mental health treatment, we offer a variety of therapies to help cope with anxiety, depression, and more. Once you speak to our admissions staff or intake coordinator, we can decide what might work best for you.

One-on-One Therapy

Talk therapy with an individual therapist helps you examine events in your life that may contribute to the symptoms you experience. Build a relationship with someone who is an impartial sounding board in your life.
More

Group Therapy

Talk to others who are going through the same experiences in a therapeutic session. Learn from their mistakes and triumphs and form a team that supports your progress.
More

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

In cognitive-behavioral therapy, you'll learn to reframe your thoughts. When you make the connection between what you think and then what you do, you can prevent some unwanted behaviors by starting at the thought level.
More

Holistic Therapy

Integrate your body, mind, and spirit with holistic therapies like yoga or meditation. When paired with psychotherapy, holistic therapies can make you feel balanced during the treatment process.
More

Gestalt Therapy

Develop a powerful sense of self-awareness that can keep you grounded at the moment. Gestalt therapy helps you tap into your thoughts and feelings as they happen so you can choose reactions and behaviors that serve you better.
