In a July 2019 Lancet editorial, the ominous title warned: Physician Burnout: A Global Crisis. The global epidemic of our burnout was soon to be engulfed by the global pandemic just 8 months later.  While we happily did away with the masks and social distancing, our despair and loss of meaning in work in this, the pandemic aftermath, has only depended since the Lancet’s declaration of our crisis.  The aim of this talk is to dismantle our problematic and damaging medical-cultural notions of resilience and success in favour of a healthier, kinder, more community-engaged one, to achieve true and lasting well-being. With some pearls from a years-long stint in therapy along the way.
