Not Your Savior: Breaking Up With the Martyr Mindset in Healthcare
Date & Time
Monday, September 14, 2026, 11:00 AM - 11:50 AM
Description
This session dives into the quiet, deeply ingrained belief many healthcare workers carry: that their worth comes from sacrificing themselves. In this session, we plan to unpack how saviorism, identity loss, and the �I owe healthcare everything� mentality lead to burnout, resentment, and a life that feels too small.
Attendees will learn how to recognize martyr patterns in real time, understand the emotional and physical cost of over-functioning, and walk away with practical tools to build boundaries, reclaim identity outside the job, and take better care of the person inside (and out!) the scrubs � without guilt.
