    Joyful Palliative Care

    Joyful Palliative Care

    Is Joyful Palliative Care possible? Palliative care clinicians are often kind and highly empathetic people, but uncontrolled caring can lead to compassion fatigue or even burnout.

    Yet approaching the care of seriously ill people with an intentional approach can indeed make palliative care joyful.

    Here are the steps:

    1. More tools to relieve your patients' suffering (integrative symptom management)
    2. Develop your healing presence
    3. Know yourself
    4. Become a heart-centered leader
    5. Fill your cup

    I'm offering a Joyful Palliative Care program for clinicians who take care of people with cancer, dementia, neurologic disease, and other serious illness. If this podcast episode sparks something in you, come join us.

    Get on the Joyful Palliative Care waiting list so you'll be the first to know when the program starts. Also, people who join the program from the waiting list will get a discount or bonus.

    Using Negotiation Skills to Communicate Effectively with Patients

    Using Negotiation Skills to Communicate Effectively with Patients

    Effective doctor-patient communication is crucial for effective patient care. Yet effective communication is challenging when visits are time pressured, and both clinicians and patients are often stressed.

    Using the tools of negotiation can help make doctor/clinician-patient communication more effective. This week I discuss an 8 step approach to negotiating effectively with patients.

    In support of heart-centered healing,

    Dementia: 7 Ways to Connect When Language Is No Longer Accessible

    Dementia: 7 Ways to Connect When Language Is No Longer Accessible

    Dementia is hard on families.

    It is hard to watch a loved one decline, hard to provide personal care, and hard to lose the connection with the person that you once knew. One of the hardest things may be that the person loses their language, and language is often how we connect.

    This week I share 7 ideas for fostering connection with people with dementia.

    If you're a clinician, share these ideas with the families that you care for. If you have a person in your family with dementia, try them out yourself.

    In support of whole person care for families facing aging or illness, using all the tools that work. I'm glad you're here.
