Awww Thank you Cheyenne. First - HUG! Thank you for sharing this tender vignette.
I hope you never lose your ability to empathise with and feel for the patients. At the same time, I hope you find healthy coping mechanisms and ways to navigate what is a tough caring role. I appreciate you writing this for the Anthology.
I've seen and felt clinical detachment, or 'transactional health management', by some healthcare professionals. It compounds the stress of the situation. Thankfully, despite the challenges of today's UK health system, the majority of people we interact with now are caring, empathetic souls with whom we've built strong connections—we are SO blessed and grateful for them.
Thank you again for inspiring this post. Yes, it is important to find healthy coping mechanisms and emotional outlets as we process emotions as providers, caregivers, patients and humans. It is important to remain emotionally healthy especially in these interactions - because, as you say, clinical detachment is a problematic alternative.
I’m so glad you received the affirmation you deserved. Perhaps a wall of joy and gratitude with the letter as #1. Have a look at @Susan Marte’s based on the https://365grateful.com/
