DM #600: We don’t fix, we facilitate.
—
Was trying to come up with something super poignant for DM #600 and this had been rattling around in my head for a few days. Seemed fitting ??♂️. Super poignant? Unsure. Meaningful to me? Absolutely.
—
If you’ve been following me for any length of time you’ll see that the same few themes seem to pervade my DMs. One of those central tenets is the idea of empowering your patients/clients and being mindful of nocebos. The words we use…the way we interact with our patients…it matters.
—
Our patients are not tables, or cars, or any other inanimate object that requires fixing in order to function. Quite the opposite. They are very much full of life. They are not broken. They are very much capable of helping themselves…often times they just need a bit of guidance.
—
Be that for them. Guide them. Teach them. Help them. Check your ego at the door and recognize the value of your role as a facilitator. After all, it’s about them, not you.
