Hidden River Eating Disorder Treatment’s Post

Let's welcome another new PCYP member! Meet Jessica Wilczek, Physician/Wellness Consultant, Dr. Jessica; a Physician for the People "Are you tired of the current medical system? Me too! Time for US to break free! I have lost faith while I’ve watched my patients funneled into arbitrary disease categories and into treatment programs hell bent on ignoring the underlying issues and ‘fixing’ problems using expensive pills and potions, some found to be very dangerous to our health. Not to mention, the complete lack of attention to the many assaults our bodies are under via environmental toxins and the complete lack of attention to the interconnectivity of our spiritual health. No more! We are not a number. We do not respond to a ‘one size fits all’ approach. We do not expect substandard care for inflated prices. We do not expect to visit our doctor, only to feel guilty to be there seeking answers or help. While we can’t undo all of the wrongs overnight, we CAN take back our power to achieve a comprehensive, overall state of health and harmony together. With my clear vision of the importance of detoxification with education to understand the true innerworkings of our mind, body, and spirit, we can take back our health together!"

"The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."  - Stephen Hawking "Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance." - Confucius "The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know." - Albert Einstein "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." - Socrates True wisdom comes from acknowledging the vastness of what we don't know and maintaining an open, curious mind. When someone believes they already possess all the answers, they often don’t ask questions or seek further clarity or understanding. As  nurse practitioners, many of us have an inherent appreciation for what we don’t know - maybe it was our schooling/education or the natural “hierarchy” of healthcare telling us where we belong. I know I’ve always had an inferiority complex which has allowed me to learn as much as I can, know what I don't know, and not be afraid to ask questions and seek help. I think this is one of the greatest superpowers for me being a nurse practitioner ✨ I’m reminded that thinking I know more than I do leads to complacency and a reluctance to continue learning.

As doctors, we can feel that we must always maintain control and keep it all together in order to serve others. This expectation can feel deeply ingrained and often leaves little room for us to acknowledge our vulnerabilities and need for compassion. Yet, it is essential to remember that we, too, are human—deserving of the same kindness, support, and understanding we so generously extend to those we care for. The concept of common humanity invites us to shift our perspective to see beyond the titles and roles that define us in our clinical settings. It encourages us to recognise that we experience moments of doubt, fatigue, and emotional unease from time to time. This realisation is not a sign of weakness but a reminder of our shared human experience. In embracing our common humanity, we pave the way for a more compassionate and supportive medical community where doctors feel empowered to seek help, share their struggles, and care for their well-being without fear of judgment or stigma. It fosters an environment where the well-being of doctors is given as much importance as that of the patients we serve. #healthehealers #humansinhealthcare #wellbeingfordoctors #selfcompassion

🌟 I’m happy to announce that supervision sessions are available for clinicians! 🌟 I hope to offer guidance and support for navigating challenging situations and support personal and professional growth. This offering is available to anyone working with folks who are experiencing eating disorders but is especially helpful for fellow registered dietitians. Supervision can help your clients by:  ✨ Breaking the stereotype: Eating disorders affect people of all genders and body sizes. ✨ Learning to recognize and address our own biases to provide inclusive care. Supervision can help you by:   🤝 Helping you navigate challenging client cases. 🤝 Exploring new strategies and interventions to better support your clients on their recovery journey. 🤝 Prioritizing your well-being: Address your feelings and challenges that naturally can come up doing this work. 🌱 Build confidence in providing effective and compassionate care within your private practice.

What stands out to you here? What are the first thoughts that go through your mind when you read the list? How often have you dismissed someone because of their title or judged people, their life, their intelligence because of a title or perhaps because of not having a title? People make the title, let’s start getting to know the best label and that is their birth name. The title you have does not make you any more or less important. Let’s get back to what values, beliefs, and personal characteristics of the individuals. This comes to my mind after reading a comment in the chat of a zoom meeting where a statement was written “ Lori I just attended a workshop where the presenter said that people with special needs don’t let go of their medical labels because if they do, they won’t get their needs met” We need to understand and separate characteristics of a diagnosis from characteristics of the person. Instead of always saying my child has special needs can we say my child has human needs which need to be uniquely addressed? Yes, a label such as a condition aids in proper treatment etc., just don’t stop there. PLEASE remember there is a human being under the label, that also is asking to be seen, heard, and understood.

"Our jobs as health guides is to identify any gaps in care preventing patients from achieving their health goals. We help patients bridge those gaps as best we can by addressing the different barriers patients are facing that are keeping them from accessing the resources they need to be successful." Vanessa Heinrichs, a former athletic trainer with a commitment to helping people, discovered that becoming a health guide suited her personality and skillset very well.
