Empathy and personal connection in healthcare is profoundly important and can make a massive difference for the patient and their loved ones.
Each interaction, whether it's a routine procedure or a critical operation, profoundly impacts the person involved. We must see beyond the clinical details and recognize the individual at the heart of every treatment.
Every patient represents a unique story and individual challenges. It's essential to acknowledge their humanity, especially in moments of vulnerability. Understanding and empathy are key. Imagine being in the patient's or a family member's shoes—this perspective should guide our actions.
Alleviating fears isn’t just part of the job; it’s part of showing we care, understanding the emotional journey patients undergo as they face health challenges.
Let's commit to treating each patient with the kindness and consideration we would hope for ourselves.
Have a great day!

The impact of friendship and community cannot be overstated. Community is fundamental. It is the key to negotiating perilous times through support and shared experiences. With a strong community, anything is possible.
When doubts arise, as they inevitably do, a community can provide an invaluable sounding board of encouragement and reality checks. And when our own internal beliefs aren’t up to the task, we can borrow the beliefs we have in each other to keep us moving forward. And let’s be honest, having a group of people you can relate to and who get what you’re going through is just nice.
Physicians are entrenched in community throughout our training, but the camaraderie all but disappears as we reach attendinghood. Community may just be one of the most significant missing pieces for physicians in modern-day medicine that drives physician burnout, overwhelm, and overall discontent.
Who is your community? Does something prevent you from finding or creating the community you need? How might having a community change your life and career?

This transformation highlights the critical role of empathy and patience in fostering deeper connections and enabling real growth. #CrimsonHeights#BuildingTrust#TherapeuticRelationships#MentalHealthAwareness#PatientCare#EmpathyInAction#HealingJourney#ConsistencyMatters#BehavioralHealth#PsychologicalGrowth
Did you know that 40% of physicians are reluctant to seek medical care for a mental health condition? On a similar note, nurses suffer from similar fears of losing their license to practice or losing employment if they seek mental health care.
While there has been considerable emphasis on improving the well-being of clinicians, there is much to be done to alleviate the stress and burnout experienced by the entire healthcare workforce. In this episode of This Clinical Life, Stephen Beeson, MD and Corey Feist from the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes' Foundation explore the importance of fostering a work environment where everyone in healthcare feels safe when asking for help.
"We envision a world where seeking and obtaining mental health treatment is viewed as a sign of strength. The first thing we all need to be doing is what we’re doing right now, which is just talk about these issues, talk about the challenges, and talk about the solutions because we know that those will have a tremendous impact on supporting the healthcare workforce." - J. Corey Feist, JD, MBA

Empathy vs. Sympathy: Do You Know the Difference?
Empathy is the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, truly understanding and sharing their emotions. On the other hand, sympathy involves feeling sorrow for someone, sometimes to the extent of taking on their emotions yourself. While sympathy is a compassionate trait, it may not always be the most constructive approach.
Why Empathy Matters
Developing empathy is crucial. It's a valuable skill that can help you remain calm, view situations from another’s perspective, and, most importantly, make others feel heard and understood. In healthcare, empathy is shown to enhance therapeutic relationships and improve patient outcomes.

We love LifeStance Health 💙
🧠 As a #BehavioralHealth optimization partner I work with Behavioral Health facilities all over the country, including #virtualproviders and #digitalplatforms
However, I know from #PERSONALexperience, and I'll share transparently, everyone in my family sees a counselor. We have all experienced a great deal of #trauma over the last few years (not even including the pandemic) and we work individually and together to assure our #mentalwellness including: my husband, my 17 year old son, and my 15 year old daughter! 👨👩👦👦
🎯 Lifestance has always been transparent, upfront on costs, and accesible to providers!
📊 We actually utilized another digital platform, a competitor of Lifestance, recently, to explore options.
*It's important to shop providers and programs to indentify what is most successful and beneficial to your wellness...
The new digital paltofrm we picked was awesome too - our son loved it and saw great benefits.
However, through a 15 week program we were NEVER connected with a psychiatric provider! An amazing counselor, yes, but not the Psychiatric provider we were told we'd be seeing.
After our son had completed the program, in a post treatment survey I mentioned that we were never connected with a provider and although they apologized they admitted that they didn't have any psychiatric providers in their network!!!
They did refer us out to a provider down the street, which is fine, the other, local provider is great, but we chose (and paid for) the (comprehensive) digital program, under the understanding that Psychiatric evaluation was apart of the program.
My point in many ways is two-fold:
What is advertised isn't always real - check in on what you're investing in.
AND
There is a DIRE #SHORTAGE of #mentalhealth practitioners.

This article highlights some of the reasons people are reluctant to avoid medical care—including cost and access challenges—and how relatives and friends can provide the right encouragement.
Of course, not everyone has a loved one in their life who can serve in this role—making the role that local, trusted Community-Based Organizations play even more important.
