Do you know this urge to say something to make somebody feel less upset? Finding the right words in stressful situations is not easy and I experienced firsthand, how some communication choices in healthcare settings can add to the pain.

In this episode of Connected Curious Care, I share with you a very personal experience with the sentence „It’s going to be ok“. I open up about how hearing that sentence made me feel even more alone, even angry.

There was a time when I used that exact sentence as a nurse, and in my podcast, I talk about why I often thought that dramatic situations require more than a simple gesture of empathy.

Tune in and learn about what kind of communication would have helped me to receive and feel connected at distressing moments, when I was a patient and on the other side of the table. I would love to hear from your experience. Leave me a comment on my YouTube Channel or Instagram.
