Creating A Positive Healthcare Mindset Part 2: Recognizing Fears

Our natural reaction to stressful or disruptive situations is to focus on what we want to avoid and what we fear. In the healthcare workplace this shows up most profoundly when an employee is facing a new task, policy, or assignment. Building upon part one's emphasis on awareness of negative thinking habits, this course, part two of this four-part series, shows healthcare professionals how to recognize their fear-based reactions and how to shift them into positive, productive responses.
