How Do You Feel: One Doctor's Search for Humanity in Medicine

《你感覺怎麼樣？》(How Do You Feel?) 是一部「發人深省的著作，探討在逆境中如何進行療癒和保持同情心」。一位精神科醫師和她的四位病患，探討他們如何應對隱藏在照護工作背後付出的巨大身心健康代價。這本書非常適合喜歡《也許你應該找人聊聊》(Maybe You Should Talk to Someone)的讀者。

潔西·戈爾德醫師(Dr. Jessi Gold)在這本深具個人色彩且感人肺腑的回憶錄中，探討了照顧他人所帶來的隱藏代價。身為一位助理教授、執業精神科醫師和大學健康服務部門的領導者，戈爾德醫師習慣過著忙碌的生活，總是將病患、同事和親人的需求擺在自己前面。然而，當她在一次病患會談中犯下一個難以置信的錯誤時，她被迫正視自己的心理健康，並開始了一段自我發現之旅，重新評估那個訓練她的醫療體系。

透過她的四位醫護工作者病患——一位患有強迫症的住院醫師、一位患有創傷後壓力症候群的懷孕護士、一位因考試焦慮而舉步維艱的醫學生，以及一位不堪重負的急診室醫師的視角，戈爾德醫師檢視了職業倦怠、完美主義以及在醫療領域工作的情感負擔等普遍問題。這些引人入勝的敘事，結合她自身的個人治療歷程，揭示了在一個致力於服務他人的領域中，努力保持人性所面臨的共同掙扎。

戈爾德醫師的回憶錄巧妙地將她的研究專長與難忘的故事和原始情感交織在一起，既深度個人化，又具備普世性。《你感覺怎麼樣？》展現了人類在連結、學習和成長方面所擁有的無限潛力，提醒我們所有人，為了照顧好他人，我們必須首先記得要照顧好自己。這本書是所有從事照護工作的人，或任何想了解心理健康對我們生活所帶來深遠影響的人，必讀的一本書。

A “thought-provoking exploration of healing and compassion in the face of adversity” (Jen Gunter, MD, New York Times bestselling author of The Menopause Manifesto) following one psychiatrist and four of her patients as they deal with the unspoken physical and mental health costs of caregiving—perfect for fans of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone and The In-Between.

In How Do You Feel? Dr. Jessi Gold offers a deeply personal and poignant memoir that explores the hidden tolls of taking care of others. As an assistant professor, practicing psychiatrist, and university wellness leader, Dr. Gold was accustomed to a life of constant busyness, always putting the needs of her patients, colleagues, and loved ones before her own. But when an unthinkable error during a patient session forces her to confront her own mental health, she begins a journey of self-discovery and reevaluation of the medical system that trained her.

Through the eyes of her health care worker patients—a resident with OCD, a pregnant nurse with PTSD, an aspiring medical student with crippling test anxiety, and an overwhelmed ER physician—Dr. Gold examines the pervasive issues of burnout, perfectionism, and the emotional burden of working in health care. These compelling narratives, combined with her own personal therapy sessions, reveal the shared struggles of maintaining humanity in a field dedicated to serving others.

Expertly weaving her research expertise with unforgettable stories and raw emotions, Dr. Gold’s memoir is at once deeply personal and utterly universal. How Do You Feel? demonstrates the unbridled capacity for connection, learning, and growth, reminding us all that in order to care for others, we must first remember to care for ourselves. This book is a must-read for anyone in the caregiving profession or for those who want to understand the profound impact of mental health on our lives.
