On this episode Brian Berneman chats with Jacqui O'Connor about her journey and her work with Heart Place Hospital to support healthcare workers and carers.

Key Takeaways:

  • Heart Place Hospital provides multidimensional support for frontline workers, addressing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs
  • The healthcare system often neglects self-care for carers, leading to burnout and stigma around seeking help
  • Integrating holistic approaches with conventional healthcare can create more sustainable and effective care models
  • There's a growing need to normalize and support empathic, sensitive qualities in healthcare professionals

Healthcare System Challenges:

  • 80% of frontline workers don't access support due to stigma
  • Many enter healthcare to fill personal voids, leading to "unhealed healers"
  • Systemic issues lead to burnout, choosing paychecks over moral compass
  • Lack of training on boundary setting and self-advocacy

Creation of Heart Place Hospital:

  • Registered charity focused on "caring for the carers"
  • Provides safe, soft sanctuary for healthcare workers to seek support without stigma
  • Offers multidimensional support: mindset work, trauma healing, precision medicine
  • Uses Te Wheke Maori Health model (octopus with 8 limbs) to address mind, body, soul, and family

Empathy and Sensitivity in Healthcare:

  • Reframes high sensitivity and empathy as gifts rather than weaknesses
  • Advocates for more "feminine energy" in care: compassion, kindness, receptiveness
  • Supports healthcare workers in exploring and utilizing their intuitive gifts
