There’s so much out there to learn, so many treatment options to discover and perfect; sexy new exercises, complex techniques, challenging diagnoses and a sea of research. These are all opportunities to develop but they are also all potentially intimidating and can make you feel like you have little to offer.
The truth is that while these may help with some patients there are key things to develop that will help with every patient; learn to put your pen down and listen, properly listen and hear the patient’s story. Acknowledge how hard it may have been for them and empathise with their situation. Find out what the patient’s goals are and work together to achieve them. Get to know the person in front of you and what resonates with them. Be mindful that nothing in what we do is set in stone, embrace that and take it as a signal to be creative in finding solutions.
Develop these sides to your practice and much of the rest is just icing on the cake. – Tom Goom
