Course Description:
Have you noticed that the healthcare system, wherever you are, is disintegrating? The unprecedented health impacts, particularly the mental health impacts, of the pandemic and climate crises, have toppled healthcare structures everywhere. Systems that were already crumbling have been leveled; structures that were somehow remaining functional are losing their tensegrity. The antidote is a shift in consciousness, from the bottom up.
This course turns the tide on how we think about and what we do in regard to healthcare. We start this program with a focus on burnout. Burnout is what is behind the accelerating mental health issues we are seeing in epic proportions everywhere. We also start with ourselves. Once we are assured that we are protected against burnout, we are well qualified to share those resources with others and to become Regenerative Health Practitioners.
This program redefines burnout. It extracts the associations with victimization and contagion. Instead, we focus on individuating responses to accelerating overwhelm by examining the exposome* for each person and identifying vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are then paired with appropriate, accessible and practical resources for prevention and advocacy. This lays the groundwork for replication and for healing in community as a model for others.
Utilizing clinically and time-tested modalities that speak directly to the evolving human nervous system, Regenerative Health is the physiological evidence that what is occurring now in human history is transformative. We have the capacity to transcend the debilitating impacts of allostatic load** and convert the process into the timeless path of the wounded healer, compassionately averting burnout for others.
* Exposome: The exposome (Wild, 2005) represents the totality of exposures from conception onwards, simultaneously identifying, characterizing, and quantifying the exogenous and endogenous exposures and modifiable risk factors that predispose to and predict diseases throughout a person’s life span.
Allostasis: The process by which the body responds to stress in order to regain homeostasis.
**Allostatic Load: The cost of chronic exposure to elevated or fluctuating endocrine or neural responses resulting from chronic or repeated challenges that the individual experiences as stressful.
Learning Outcomes:

Explain the physiology of burnout;
Construct a valid, useful exposome for any individual;
Implement hands-on applications to reverse the threat of burnout;
Develop a preventative self-advocacy strategy to offset burnout, secondary traumatization and vicarious traumatization;
Enhance your trauma-informed, culturally sensitive skillset;
Become qualified to be a Regenerative Health Practitioner.
