On April 7th, Beatrice Rabkin, MD and author Shauna Shapiro, PhD joined the CalPsychiatry Psych Media Discussion Group to discuss Dr. Shapiro’s novel, “Good Morning, I Love You: Mindfulness & Self-Compassion Practices to Rewire the Brain for Calm Clarity and Joy.”
During this discussion, Dr. Shapiro and Dr. Rabkin explored the resistance many of us feel around what it means to be accepting and compassionate. The group further discussed recommendations for healthcare providers trying to practice mindfulness and self-care for themselves in order to serve their patients from a well-rested and focused place.
