94. Somatic Experiencing with Dr Matt Chellew

What a nourishing and inspiring conversation with Dr Matt Chellew - ER physician and somatic experiencing practitioner. I love connecting with other humans in healthcare who are sharing what has helped them rehumanize their work - and Matt was no exception. Listen in to his journey from burnout to thriving, and how it helped him navigate emergency medicine during the pandemic, and learn to reconnect with his patients in an authentic & meaningful way.
