That's it for our season's experience with Hypnotherapy! On this final episode, Carley, Joe, and special guest Chenedy break down their experiences with Hypnotherapy. Shout out to the self-hypnosis app Reveri, it was an excellent way to give Hypnotherapy a try for ourselves! From stress, to focus, to sleep, to eating well, we found out the multitude of ways hypnosis can help with mental health. Chenedy was such a joy to speak with, and we were so grateful to have her join us in the conversation! She shared her experiences as a nurse, influencer, and public figure, and she noted how hypnosis could help with the stresses that come with life. It was a surprising, relaxing, and fun experience trying out hypnosis, so let go of any preconceived notions you may have about it, it's definitely worth trying for yourself! Also, make sure to check out Chenedy's content on TikTok @NurseChen and on Instagram @chenedyy_21 If you have an idea for what we should try in future seasons in the world of stress and anxiety relief, and if you'd like to be featured on the pod, email your ideas to us at happyhour@operationhappynurse.org! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/operationhappynurse/support

Happy Hour continues our season's journey with Hypnotherapy this week by speaking with the incredible Katie Potratz.

Trust us, if you have any reservations about trying Hypnotherapy, Katie will put those at ease.

Season 16 is here and it's a sweet one! This time, Carley and Joe will be learning all about hypnotherapy this season and exploring how hypnosis is used as a stress reliever and therapeutic practice. If you enjoyed some of our past Mental Health Matters episodes, you may remember mention of hypnotherapy, whether with a certified therapist or even self-induced. However, we wouldn't blame you if your first thought was a pocket watch and "You are getting very sleepy..." Rest assured, hypnotherapy is really nothing like you see in fiction, it's a mind-body intervention in a standard therapy environment, often used in conjunction with other practices! It leaves you fully aware and in-control for the whole experience, just more calm, relaxed, and ready to face your problems. It can call also attention, focus your mind, and suggest solutions to whatever ails you, in mind, body, or soul. We find that very fascinating, so come along with us on this journey into the world of Hypnotherapy! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/operationhappynurse/support

For our third episode of Ask a Nurse, the Happy Hour with Operation Happy Nurse team continues to tackle pressing questions in the nursing world. This episode's main question? How do nurses advocate for themselves? It's a more complicated question than at first glance, and there's no shame in not knowing how to ask for what you need, especially if you're relatively new to the profession or fresh out of school. With that in mind, Carley and Lucio's conversation covers questions like how to ask for PTO, how to deal with disagreements with coworkers or patients, and how to ask for help on the job when you need it! We hope you find some real value in these lessons Carley and Lucio have learned and leave with some new ideas to apply for yourself! Please remember, that you, the listener, can send in topics for us to talk about!

Caroline is a Doctoral Candidate in Psychology at Meridian University, Play Researcher, Oncology and Hospice Nurse, Certified Breast Care Nurse, & Nurse Educator.

As we continue our season's journey with Play Therapy, listen in as Carley and Lucio discuss their experiences trying it out and how they felt it did as a stress reliever. One big question they came away with? Why don't we do this more often!?! As adults and professionals, we have so much stress, anxiety, and fatigue build up in our lives. Taking the time to play may seem frivolous, but as Carley and Lucio found out, it can be so effective as a way to relax and restore our bodies and our minds! Joy is such a powerful force if we let ourselves feel and experience it! So how do you think you could incorporate play into your routine? Tune in next week as we interview an expert in Play Therapy to round out this season!

Happy Hour is back for our 15th season! We hope you'll hit that "play" button for this one, as this season, Carley and Lucio will learn all about Play Therapy! So, what is that exactly? The official definition of play is: to engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious or practical purpose. That may seem contradictory if you are purposefully using it as therapy, but as you'll learn over this season, it's a real, effective, and fascinating idea. From sand play, to theater play, to even hula hoop play, the idea that play is a restorative and stress-relieving activity has been around for some time now, particularly for children's therapy. However, nurses can also see real benefits, notably for combatting stress, depression, and compassion fatigue. As always, we'll bring on a guest expert to explain more and have Carley and Lucio try it out, so have some fun with this season as we explore Play Therapy! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/operationhappynurse/support

An amazing and very funny community, the @nurselifern page (Nurse Life Right Now) was founded by Layifa's brother Ebi to provide a space for humor and camaraderie for nurses.

Season 11 has come and gone, so let's wash our brushes and break down how all the painting went! On this fun closing episode, Carley and Shannon are joined by Lucio, who is both a Stability nurse and an all-star on Tik-Tok, @NurseNunu. The trio tried out Paint and Sip together, and they give us the rundown on how it went! The verdict? Painting (with some wine as a pairing) can hit a good mark as stress relief, as long you don't get too competitive with it! So whether you're artistically-inclined or were never able to color inside the lines, you can get value and relief from the exercise of painting!
