New Book Offers Healthcare Workers Tools for Restoring Their Post-Pandemic Lives

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Feb. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- It's no secret that 22 million U.S. healthcare professionals and another 38 million around the world had nearly every aspect of their lives negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. What is less known is how to make them whole again.

In The Healer's Path to Post-COVID Recovery: A Restorative Journey for Healthcare Workers (Soul Health Press), Katherine Kelly, Ph.D., M.S.P.H, uses her nationally-respected Soul Health Model to offer healthcare providers the tools they need to find their own path to healing.

To research the book, an Amazon #1 New Release, Kelly — who has worked in three major medical centers, taught hundreds of healthcare professionals and felt the same overwhelm, exhaustion and doubts as her colleagues — conducted nearly 150 interviews. She interviewed traditional and holistic U.S. and Canadian healthcare providers and their family members who shared both gut-wrenching and uplifting stories with her.

"The pandemic affected more than life balance, fatigue and emotional health; it struck healthcare workers at the essence of who they are — their soul," Kelly says. "We will never be the same, but we can be even better than we were before this viral enemy arrived."

Kelly advises readers, "This is not just a 'how-to' book, this is a 'how to evolve book'—something that will take you beyond what traditional methods can offer. The 'protocol' found within these pages will help you heal from the inside out — a much deeper and sustainable route to a better life."

Just as she does in the book, in an interview, Kelly can discuss:

• Six steps to making healthcare workers whole again
• Five unspoken truths about celebrated healthcare workers
• The real story behind COVID trauma suffered by RNs
• How to protect the passion of providing care in the wake of the Great Resignation
• Tips for healing oneself while still healing others
• From raw to right-side up: The truth about healthcare worker burnout
