Stop Building Resilience, Strengthen Your Resistance
Manage episode 518727774 series 3417805
Discover the difference between resistance (your daily shield built through sleep, nutrition, relationships, and spiritual wellness) and resilience (the anaerobic sprint you can't maintain forever).
Recorded on-site at Fast25, James Boomhower, founder of StayFit4Duty, breaks down why the EMS culture of "pushing through" is fundamentally flawed. Using the metaphor of muscle training, he explains that continuing to stress a system without recovery doesn't build strength—it causes injury. The recovery time from a torn mental health muscle is exponentially longer than if you'd simply rested appropriately.
With over 20 years in New England EMS including training to become a licensed mental health counselor, James brings a perspective that's desperately needed in emergency medicine. He provides the missing manual for sustainable careers in emergency medicine. In this episode he discusses why the 5 pillars of resilience should really be the 5 pillars of resistance. He shares vulnerable stories from his own journey, including the colleague who grabbed him by the collar to stop him from burning out while helping others, and even some relationship strategies to prevent your worst shift from destroying your home life.
