Waiting as a Clinical Skill




It seems we seldom need an immediate outcome. Most of the time, there is a waiting period. The same is true of important test results and effects of medical treatment.

What role can you play in assisting your patients to “wait”? What skills do you need? Who will best help you in developing these skills?

Waiting is also about us.

In the spiritual tradition, help us gain this fleeting moment of waiting before we speak. It is from the silence gained from waiting that we can reach into our deepest sense of wisdom to comfort those we care for.
