Navigating Fight/Flight/Freeze in ER Conversations (with Hayden Richards) | Curious Now 30
The Center for Medical SimulationShow Notes
Hayden Richards, an Australian emergency physician and founder of the Youtube channel CommsLab, joins us to compare notes on confronting what’s going on underneath our fight/flight/freeze responses as clinicians in high stakes conversations: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-center-for-medical-simulation/id1279266822
This collaboration began with Hayden’s excellent explainer on Advocacy Inquiry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGvEAxVox5U
Much like our work with looking at the hidden emotions underneath our judgment, Hayden’s work on mindfulness helps people to feel less buffeted by the stimuli of the emergency department as well as of everyday life.
Workout of the Week: Use a “good judgment statement” that begins with the words “I’m worried….” Hayden points out that this type of statement of concern lets the listener know that you don’t know all the answers, but this is what you’re thinking about as you find your way together.
