How good are we at Deep Listening? And how can we improve? Epstein RM, Beach MC. "I don't need your pills, I need your attention:" Steps toward deep listening in medical encounters. Curr Opin Psychol. 2023 Oct;53:101685. doi: 10.1016/j.copsyc.2023.101685. Epub 2023 Aug 10. PMID: 37659284.

I’m so excited about the podcasts I’m releasing over the next 6 weeks. What a selection of books and I had some wonderful guests too. Which are you most looking forward to hearing about?

Can we get more comfortable having the sweaty palm conversations - can we have brave, kind conversations that connect? Do have a listen… @doctorstraining.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/w...
