I'm trying to think of a way of wording this so that I sound like what I found.
I guess what I'm asking is, when we've been doing these interviews, there's been common themes about people's experiences and how that's maybe affected them.
A lot of people have talked about bullying and how that's maybe negatively impacted them.
Do you find that as complex as individuals can be, we are ultimately all experiencing the same things?
Potentially.
When you think about trauma, trauma responses will not differentiate between a real or perceived threat of physical harm or professional harm.
The individual who is experiencing bullying or other forms of abuse will react in the same way, which is part of a fight or freeze response, which in turn then will influence what we do, how we think, how we perceive things.
and those then will affect our communication on our ability to think things through and to ultimately support ourselves thinking about self-care and support others around us whether it's colleagues or family or friends or at times even patients if the anxiety fight flight freeze response and the dramatic response will not differentiate at the at the individual level and we will receive the same responses
do you think that people with excessive workloads becoming really easily overwhelmed.
Do you think it's a common thing that people don't actually realise that they're in that fight and flight?
Yeah.
I think, yeah.
Do we have the space and capacity to reflect on how we're feeling at times of high distress, at times of high pressure? where we have significant responsibilities for our patients and our colleagues, as well as then for families and friends and things that are happening in personal life.
It would make a lot of sense if at times we didn't and we had a lack of insight.
And then our ability to think and reflect will be impacted.
Our psychological defense is, if you think about psychodynamic understandings of how we cope with stress will be influenced.
So when we experience tragedy, when we experience adversity at a time of responsibility taken over when we're doing our jobs, we'd quite often you guys, you'd carry on as best you can.
But how we do that is at times through these psychological defences of being task orientated or avoiding intellectualisation, rationalisation, projection or being in denial.
That's our body, that's our psychological state supporting us to cope with what we're going through.
And it helps.
You know, a lot of these things will help in the short term, but if we're reliant on these psychological defenses not to feel how we're feeling, then eventually they will be less effective because the emotion will still be there.
The sadness, the anxiety, the stress, the trauma, at times the guilt or shame or humiliation will still be there.
Whether it's right to be there, whether it's irrational in terms of what we think about how we're working or what we're doing, the emotional one differentiates.
And the psychological offences will only work for so long.
And what we need is connection.
