Dr. Kyle Stanley and Dr. Martin Mendelson discuss the importance of emotional resilience in the dental profession, emphasizing that it is not something one is born with but rather something that needs to be cultivated. They introduced a practical framework called NBCA (Notice, Breathe, Choose, Act) for self-awareness and emotional regulation and highlighted the significance of breathing exercises and reality testing in managing emotions. They also stressed the importance of setting expectations, managing emotions effectively, and maintaining a positive demeanor in the face of challenges in the dental profession.
