America’s healthcare system is in crisis—but what’s often ignored is the trauma beneath the surface. Kathy Allan, a board-certified holistic nurse with over two decades of experience in trauma recovery, says many nurses today are emotionally broken, betrayed by the very system they once trusted. Patients, too, are suffering from care that feels cold, rushed, and disconnected. In interviews, Allan reveals how this hidden trauma plays out—and how to begin healing it. Drawing on her “12 Steps of Healing Care” and years as a healing touch instructor and somatic experiencing practitioner, Allan offers a spiritual and body-centered roadmap for transforming pain into purpose. Her stories and insights will resonate with nurses, healthcare workers, and anyone who’s ever felt harmed by the system that was supposed to help them.

The Hidden Epidemic: How Isolation is Impacting Teen Mental Health
While the general belief is that the elderly are more inclined to experience loneliness and isolation, recent university studies have concluded that teens actually are more likely to experience this. One major cause is pervasive overuse of social media. “Social media can lead to feelings of negative comparison, inadequacy, and exclusion for teens,” says retired psychiatrist and author Dr. Shila Patel. “The resulting feelings of isolation can result in a host of physical and mental health issues, ranging from weakened immune function to acute depression, as well as thoughts of suicide.” Shila is a retired psychiatrist who spent her career focused on women’s and children’s issues, and the author of the three-book series “US Unhinged 1 and 2 and US Fractured.” Contact: Dr. Shila Patel at (229) 586-6190; spatel@rtirguests.com
