Healing from the Inside Out

Carolyn’s restorative writing workshops and teaching style have been called “calm and caring,” “exceptional,” “engaging,” “brilliant,” and “my favorite workshop of the conference.” 

As the author of A Prescription for Burnout: Restorative Writing for Healthcare Professionals, Dr. Roy-Bornstein has led writing workshops for hundreds of physicians, nurses, physical therapists, patients, art and music therapists, speech pathologists, nutritionists, social workers, and family caregivers who all suffer from stress and burnout in healthcare.  

Her keynote addresses tackle the various components of the burnout experience in healthcare and offer dynamic solutions that go beyond mere alleviation of stress. Her goal is for her audiences and readers to flourish, to thrive, to rediscover the joy in their jobs and to locate the meaning in their work.

Some of her more high-profile venues include the American Medical Women's Association, Women in Medicine Summit, the International Meeting on Well-Being and Performance in Clinical Practice, Harvard University, University of Iowa’s Carver College of Medicine, Brain Injury Association of America, International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals, and the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
