Holding space can be transformative in healthcare.
Sometimes, the most significant impact comes not from solving a problem but from simply acknowledging it.
As a caregiver, I've seen firsthand how powerful it can be when clinicians take a moment to pause and recognize the challenges we face.
Here are three things you can take away from this approach:
- The power of empathy in patient care
- The importance of acknowledging unsolvable challenges
- How a simple pause can create connection and understanding
Empathy and understanding can be as healing as any treatment.
How do you create space for empathy in your professional interactions?
