Do you find patients keeping secrets from you? Not revealing all to you — so you can’t offer them all the help they requ if you know their whole story?
Yes for sure—usually because they expect they’ll be shamed, criticized or judged, as has happened historically. This sets up the delicate balance of leaning in and out on my part, the negotiated relational dance. Not too intrusive, nor too distant. Thx for your readership as always.
