Trailer: A Safe Space For Your Ears

11/08/24 • 3 min

It’s finally time to address our professional relationships with mental health treatment in a clear, calm, and professional manner.

It’s time that practitioners start to better understand ourselves, our patients, and our parallel journeys to address mental health struggles in this highly unpredictable cultural climate.

It’s time a podcast trailer presented a plan to constructively explore professional development for psychiatric professionals. Perhaps, in the form of a polished audio trailer!

We sure think so. Unfortunately, you’ll have to look elsewhere.

Intro, tale of two doctors

In this debut episode of How to Be Patient, psychiatry residents Preston Roche and Margaret Duncan open up about their personal journeys into medicine and the challenges they’ve faced in connecting with patients—and themselves. From navigating early patient interactions to grappling with their own vulnerabilities, they explore the balance between authenticity and professionalism. With humor, candid storytelling, and a dash of introspection, this episode sets the stage for a season of thoughtful discussions on empathy, growth, and the art of being present in healthcare. Get ready for the tale of two doctors!

Takeaways:

Empathy is a Skill: You don’t have to be born with it—learning how to connect with patients can happen over time and with practice.

Authenticity Matters: Medicine isn’t about pretending to be perfect; it’s about finding a way to unify your personal identity with your professional role.

Vulnerability is Strength: Struggles, failures, and even embarrassing moments can be powerful tools for connecting with others.

Creativity Fuels Resilience: Exploring hobbies and personal interests, like Margaret’s Bad Art Every Day project, can help you stay grounded during stressful times.

Reflection Unlocks Growth: To truly understand and support patients, start by looking inward and understanding your own emotions and biases
