Kristi and Larry are joined by Elizabeth Vermilyea, PhD, and Kim Johnson (Kristi's sister and the newest member of the gang) for a roundtable on vicarious trauma, and processing - formally or informally. We talk more about personal wellness strategies this episode.

As many of us - both as patients and providers - are members of the LGBTQ community, we thought Pride month afforded us an opportunity to talk about some of the challenges facing LGBTQ patients and providers working within the healthcare system.

This is Part I of a two-part series with guest panelists Tuan Vo (a family medicine physician from Tucson, AZ), and Lyn Ashley Geldar (a clinical psychologist from Scottsdale, AZ).

We hope you enjoy our time with them - they were terrific guests!

In this episode we explore a recent article by a neuroscientist about the role of the medial frontal gyrus in rumination cycles and helping us to better establish perspective and break those cycles.
