Have you noticed yourself getting stressed when you encounter patients that can't be "fixed"? I see so many colleagues, clients and learners who feel guilt or shame when they are trying to help a patient and it seems there aren't any effective solutions. Underneath, it seems like unless we're fixing our patients, we're helpless or even wasting our time.
I want to offer a completely different way of thinking about our patients, their bodies, and our role in their care. A way that doesn't require us to fix anyone. A way that doesn't require us to think of our patients as broken and in need of fixing at all. It has been such a freeing and empowering frame to bring to my work in healthcare, and I hope it feels the same for you.
