Burnout in healthcare is at an all-time high, but what if we’ve been looking at it the wrong way? In this powerful episode, Dr. Ron Ehrlich sits down with Dr. Lorre Laws, a nurse scientist, trauma expert, and author of Nursing Our Healer’s Heart, to explore the hidden link between burnout and occupational trauma.

Dr. Laws shares groundbreaking insights from her research, revealing why traditional self-care solutions often fail and how polyvagal theory, trauma-informed care, and cell danger response theory are transforming our understanding of practitioner health. Whether you’re a healthcare provider, caregiver, or someone struggling with chronic stress, this episode is filled with science-backed strategies to heal, restore, and reconnect.

Learn how burnout is more than stress—it’s a nervous system response to trauma and how addressing it can revolutionize not just practitioner health but patient outcomes as well. Tune in to rethink burnout, heal from within, and build true resilience.
