As a result, MHPs themselves are at increased risk for developing burnout and mental health disorders, including anxiety and depression. In addition, these emotional strains have impacted professional performance and career satisfaction, which poses significant challenges to the profession and patient outcomes. Cognitive flexibility (CF) is a cognitive-behavioral tool that is well-known for scaffolding resilience, encouraging self-awareness, and ameliorating workplace stressors and burnout. CF is also a teachable skill that uses many methods to encourage pre-frontal cortex neuroplasticity and practice. The current brief overview provides simple yet effective tools to enhance CF and safeguard the mental health and well-being of MHPs in the clinical setting.
