Nevertheless, we persisted and really explored what it could look and feel like to identify what is dying in our current system and society, and how we could approach these changes with a hospicing approach.

How much time does your brain spending trying to figure out who to blame and how to avoid being in a position of being blamed? We all live and work in a very blame-heavy culture, and it can be a major barrier to us actually facing and learning from our mistakes. In this podcast I explore a simple but powerful reflective exercise that can shift our approach from blame to accountability, and actually improve the experience for providers and patients alike in the process.

Everyone’s heard of the placebo effect…but have you heard of the nocebo effect? And more importantly, how were you taught about how belief and expectations of a treatment can modulate the effectiveness and experience of that treatment? Joan invites pain coach Deb Malkin back on the podcast to discuss the placebo/nocebo effect, and how we can apply these phenomenon to how we communicate with our patients.

Do you ever get stuck worrying about others being mad at you? So does Joan! Listen to her as she coaches herself through what’s really going on underneath this worry and what she can offer to herself to help
This is one of the most common fears I hear from my clients and colleagues - and I see how it is taking up so much time and energy which prevents them from setting boundaries and changing their relationship with their work! In this episode I explore three areas where this fear frequently shows up, and do my best to show the major thought errors that are keeping folks stuck. I show how taking desired actions to make healthcare feel more human actually HELP prevent future lawsuit and complaints - and offer you the peace and confidence to know you’d be ok even if one does come your way.

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.
