We use the word “stress” for a lot of different experiences.

Sometimes it is pressure that will pass. Sometimes someone is dealing with burnout, trauma, moral injury or compassion fatigue, and those experiences can affect people very differently.

That matters because the support someone needs depends on what they are actually going through.

I recently discussed this on the @rcphysicians podcast, including how these different forms of distress can affect us emotionally and physically, both in our personal lives and at work.

For me, one of the most important things is creating enough safety for people to talk about what they are experiencing without shame or guilt.

We do not need everyone to become an expert in mental health.

But we do need to get better at listening, recognising when someone is struggling and helping them find the right support.
