What physicians are saying:

“In my life as the son of a doctor and a psychiatrist, I’ve run across all kinds of would-be healers and experts of the mind. I’ve never come across anyone like you or anything like this experience—the depth of clarity and awareness that you brought to this process you were facilitating within me—I just don’t know how to talk about it or find words. You were laser-focused on lighting a path for me to discover my dreams. You were working on a different dimension that I couldn’t quite see. And you did it without any pretenses or judgement or bullshit. Now I understand the phrase ‘be careful what you wish for.’ The point is not to be careful. It is to wish—and to do it connected to someone who knows a thing or two about how to make dreams come true.” ~ Psychiatrist, Wisconsin

“What happened with Pamela was kind of like psychotherapeutic brain surgery with a happy, giggly, teddy bear in a grownup fairy garden. I don’t know how else to explain it. A combination of professional development and psychotherapy with a friend. I laughed and cried a lot, and there was some really good food (and a pretty cool cat). Having been hospitalized several times for severe depression and suicidality, I can absolutely say that Pamela’s environment is much more conducive to healing than a psychiatric ward. I’m launching my own clinic when I get home to escape a very toxic operating room environment. Oh, and I left as the author of my hero’s journey.” ~ Anesthesiologist, Texas

“You brought me back to life—I have learned so much about being a healer from you. Seeing you in action was WAY MORE than what I expected. I will never forget your face, your tears, your words. Thank you for your time and love. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for seeing what you see in me. I don’t know how to thank you.” ~ Endocrinologist, Maryland

“I feel as if my life is forever changed and I am so, so deeply inspired to be guided by your light. . . . This retreat was the most amazing experience of my life, It really was. Thank you. You saved my life.”  ~ Family Medicine Resident, Pennsylvania

“This has been the best retreat EVER. You are so on top of your game despite everything you have been through this year (forest fires, personal life crises). Thank you for seeing me for who I am and being a great mentor—skillfully pulling out the best of me. I think there are so many people in this world who have lots of potential, but there aren’t a lot of people like you who can recognize that in people and help them to let their gifts flow. . . I appreciate that you try so hard to make sure that I always have the most fantastic experience. Nobody ever did that for me. And I learned that from you. Thank you for this very empowering experience.”  ~ OB/Gyn & Acupuncture, New Jersey

“I came to you a broken person. What is the poem on the Statue of Liberty? Give me your poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free. I’ll never forget the feeling of you speaking to me in a way that was very directed. I felt I was breathing the light of your breath through the air into my lungs that was birthing this life inside of me. . . I love how you specialize in healing physicians’ souls.” ~ Family Physician, Oregon

“There are no words for the gift you have given me. This retreat has healed me more than the last three years of therapy. I told my parents and my brother I was attending a business strategy retreat, yet it was really a retreat on how to connect to your soul’s purpose and your inner power. After that, all of your business endeavors fall into place.”  ~ Family Medicine Resident, Colorado

3 doctors just died while training at one NY hospital →

Three doctors just died at one NY hospital—from one internal medicine residency. Kind, caring, bright doctors. From abroad, they came to serve Americans on the frontlines, yet were never honored for their service, like Dr. Lorna Breen who died by suicide—hailed a hero by the media. No media celebrated them as heroes. No media reported their deaths. They worked 120-hr weeks for less than min. wage, ran ICUs, saved New Yorkers’ lives. Yet who helped them? Struggling, their only way out was suicide and an accidental drowning. Please—don’t let their lives be forgotten.

Physician Betrayal: How Our Heroes Become Villains – FREE Ebook →

Click here to download now. Share widely.

We are living in an era of institutional betrayal. Trusted medical institutions tasked with training our healers have failed to protect their own students, staff—and patients. When our clinics and hospitals so deeply contradict what is expected, health professionals block their trauma to maintain attachment with their profession—betrayal blindness—a state of denial in which we don’t allow ourselves to see what is happening because the information would threaten our professional standing and world view. Physicians blind themselves to betrayal to survive in a career they believe they can’t escape. Betrayal among medical professionals can be fueled by jealousy, power-seeking, and fear that may push student doctors, resident physicians, attendings, even close friends and family to act against each other for personal gain. Despite well-meaning professors and new crops of idealistic med students year after year, medicine’s culture of betrayal is self-perpetuating and intergenerational. Here’s how patients and health professionals can break the cycle and heal from the trauma.
