1. I would like to think about where the patient’s mindset is when they are admitted into a hospital / clinical / therapy setting. Mentally, emotionally, financially, socially, familial involvement vs. not. What are they thinking and what are they going through in this vulnerable point of their lives?
2. What are the most ideal ways to communicate with them interpersonally when there is a chance to have these moments of one on one conversations? HOW does reflective statements work? WHY is it so effective? How would we apply this skill set with other people in our lives outside of work?
