Before you get up in arms, I'll start by saying that in the concussion therapy space, there’s both. Compassion and empathy. HOWEVER, there is research that says that as providers/clinicians, we want to be compassionate, not necessarily empathetic. Empathy means we are taking on our patients pain and suffering~ and I'll tell you right now that that puts our own nervous systems into sympathetic activation. On the flip side, compassion and compassionate care, is being able to hear and be there and to validate without taking the pain on as our own. That’s a really important boundary and distinction for providers to have because if we continuously take on our clients pain as our own pain… that will burn us out. And we most definitely will not be able to serve our clients in the way that they need us to. So what do you think... equally important? Or does this logic ring true for you? * * * * * #concussiontreatment #concussionrehab #PCS #postconcussionsyndrome #PCSsucks #sportsinjury #sportinjury #injuryrecovery #sicknotweak #sportsmedicine #physiotherapist #Nanaimo #britishcolumbia #concussionnerds

Once shared (patient, family/surrogates, clinicians) decision to limit life-sustaining treatment reached, and approaching end-of-life recognised/accepted, pivotal caring for patient consistently with their values & preferences, ideally, as documented before mental capacity loss. #FOAMcc 🔓 https://rdcu.be/dHGQV

In Search of Self After Stroke: A Longitudinal Qualitative Study in the Context of Client-Centred Rehabilitation   The recovery journey post-stroke is intricate and prolonged. Qualitative studies reveal that many stroke survivors undergo a sense of self and identity loss. Studies conducted one year post-stroke indicate the need for individuals to establish self-confidence and reconstruct their embodied self to enhance their quality of life. During their hospital stay, stroke survivors may harbour unrealistic expectations about post-discharge life, only to realise their actual capacity for activities upon returning home.   https://lnkd.in/g2SeKtMd This article was compiled in our latest “The Wonderful World of Allied Health Newsletter”. Don't miss out on the news on rehab therapy, preventative healthcare, and our team. Get the newsletter in your inbox from this sign-up link: https://lnkd.in/dPu-EUjg Feel free to share your knowledge and expertise with us.  We are open to direct referral to our therapy services and are happy to discuss your cases. #TheWonderfulWorldOfAlliedHealth #TWWOAH #alliedhealth #alliedheathprofessionals #AfterStroke #Rehabilitation #poststroke #strokesurvivors #selfandidentityloss #qualityoflife
