About
Coaching is not therapy, and great coaching can be incredibly therapeutic.
Real-time trauma mitigation and resiliency building is a highly effective and efficient way to retain calm and focus in times of crisis, and to diminish the long-term health and socio-emotional consequences of chronic, toxic stress.
Lodestar's Trauma Mitigation Coaching™ paradigm is particularly effective in times such as these.
Why Lodestar
In the end, it's really very simple: We all need a deeper bench.
That's why I founded Lodestar.
Burnout, Vicarious Trauma and Moral Injury
Physicians are smart, tough, durable, resourceful people. If there was a way to MacGyver themselves out of this situation by working harder, smarter, or differently, they would have done it already.
-- Talbot & Dean, STAT 7.18
Meet Dr. Sarraf
"Everyone is experiencing this pandemic differently, but our baseline emotions are the same: shock, fear, resolve, outrage, disbelief, exhaustion and, ultimately, grief. No one - especially those in the field of medicine - is escaping this unscathed. The pain is universal, and we all need some extra tools right now."
-- Kemia Sarraf, M.D., M.P.H., RCC, TIPC™
