Powerful Story of Patient Interaction
Louise shared a powerful story about her interaction with a patient in a cancer hospital. The patient was bedbound, in pain, and had refused treatment multiple times. Louise used her curiosity and rapport-building skills to gain the patient's trust and eventually helped him reframe his perspective on life. She used a combination of thought field therapy and NLP techniques to guide him to a memory of a happy time, which helped him see the value in living. The patient subsequently agreed to have treatment and lived for many years after. Eldin discussed the concept of reframing and dissociating, emphasising the importance of changing one's perspective and emotions. He also asked Louise about her work as a lecturer and trainer, to which she responded that she trains future trainers and lectures on mental health and reframing perspectives, particularly with marginalised groups.
Reframing Narratives and Embracing Differences
Louise and Eldin discussed the importance of reframing narratives and challenging negative self-perceptions. They emphasized the role of humor and curiosity in teaching and coaching, highlighting its ability to disarm and create a safe environment for learning. They also discussed the need to recognize and celebrate individual differences, particularly in relation to neurodivergence. The conversation concluded with a discussion on the importance of not labeling individuals as having "special needs," but rather acknowledging the support systems they have had.
Overcoming PTSD and Changing Narratives
Louise shares her experience of overcoming PTSD after a severe incident at work, emphasising the importance of curiosity and changing perspectives. She discusses how learning about different therapies helped her rewire her brain and later apply these lessons in cancer care. Eldin adds to the conversation by explaining the importance of changing narratives and detaching emotional charges from past experiences to achieve healing. They both agree on the significance of self-love and how changing one's mindset can lead to positive changes in health, appearance, and relationships.
