Oksana Samkova - A Story of Survival

Hello again 💜

Today's episode is brought to you by grit, determination and a survival mindset!

Oksama Samkova knows all about that as she battled the demons within and without while being swept out to sea during an organised night scuba dive. With only a small flashlight, her tanks and a snorkel, Oxi had to surrender to the current and her faith that her diving colleagues would eventually notice that she was missing and come to find her! And they did after 3.5 hours of unknowing for Oxi.

What a great story from an amazingly strong woman.

Oxi recounts her adventure with strength and awareness as she shares the strategies that kept her afloat, literally. A framework that she had created in her role as a thought leader for frontline workers impacted by Vicarious Trauma or compassion fatigue, saved her life and kept her mindset positive.

RESHAPE
R - Recognise
E - Evaluate
S - Strategise
H - ask for Help
A - take Action
P - rely on your Purpose
E - Engage with others/reach out

As a lifelong theatre nurse, Oxi understands the effects of working with trauma patients and vicariously taking on their trauma over the long term and how that impacts the mental health of frontline workers. This has inspired her to step forward to help her colleagues by way of speaking and coaching her RESHAPE framework.

What an amazing happy ending story, one to pass on to other generations.
