63: Nurses Overcoming Addiction- Kacie Salas, BSN, RN, NC-BC Highlights

"My coping mechanism was, drinking and using. I think symptoms of cumulative caretaking trauma are shame, guilt, anxiety, grief. Right? Once I started to learn that language, I realized that it had been something I've really suffered with my whole life.

Through Nurse Coaching and all the tools that I learned in my Nurse Coaching program, I was able to start to guide my private clients and my debriefing clients through that process where I think, again, just opening up the conversation, you know?

And making people feel like they're less alone. They really just want to feel seen, heard and validated. And not feel alone." ~Kacie Salas, BSN, RN, NC-BC
