I find the techniques & advice very interesting such as ‘ Just a Minute’ & ‘ The Breathing ladder ‘
Its good that gratitude, self awareness, ‘velcro effect’ , compassion & so on are highlighted.
Finally, i can relate to the idea that as healthcare professional’s ‘ we are care givers & not seen as care takers’ .
Last week i had an asthma attack in the hospital where i work & my colleague reiterated to take my inhaler & carried on working ! I was very upset & suffering & took myself home . The patuent i had clerked & consented for a procedure , however, were very empathetic .
Thank you for your talk
