When Dr. Kemia Sarraf's 13-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia in 2014, her world — at least for the next three years — came to a full stop. And as he regained his health—which, by the way, he's great now—it led her down a path that would ultimately become her life's work. In this episode, she discusses with Dr. Gaggino, the trauma she experienced that inspired her to develop a special trauma-responsive coaching paradigm that is especially well-suited for frontline workers who are exposed to chronic toxic stress and who are therefore directly affected by the numerous ways that vicarious and secondary trauma "show up" in everyday life. Dr. K established Lodestar in 2016 with a focus on coaching techniques that are trauma-responsive for medical colleagues who are suffering from severe burnout, vicarious trauma, and moral injury.
