@StanfordPain The ambiguity, the uncertainty about the nature of the pain or the direction it’s heading, can be experienced as threatening. And that serves as an amplifier to very real pain. Answers can help if that’s an option. Changing our relationship with uncertainty can help too.

Here's an exercise to help you with box breathing. Breath with the dot and follow the instructions. This can help you to exit fight or flight mode from your sympathetic nervous system and help you enter rest and digest mode from your parasympathetic nervous system. #thursdayvibes

@_pgoat @CorinBailey It’s basically the “broken windows theory” that small visible signs of disorder lead to everything getting out of control. And that if you address the little things, it leads to a reduction of more serious crimes. Not supported.

@KarenReivich Beautiful! A cubist alley!!

@KarenReivich The artist revealed at last.
Great to see you. And that is one stylish gentleman back there in the chapeau!

@ColinWestMDPhD @kjdelay1 To center the problem even more externally and accurately, headlines should read:

“Study finds 50% of doctors are being burned out”

Then the story would be less about personal resilience and more about systemic failures as this framing begs the question- “by whom or what?”

Dr. Allamby is incredible and humble, attributing his success to perseverance, focus, and a passion for medicine.

And he was married with children while going through this intensive career and life change.

What was his wife’s perspective? How did she (and they) navigate it all?

[Michael Rollock @MichaelRollock]

After over 20 years as a mechanic, this man had a different calling and became a doctor. Finished med school at 47 and is a doc at Cleveland Clinic at 51.⁩

Deeply inspiring story ⁦@vanromo⁩
Please do a follow-up on his heroic wife! Because wow!

@Haley_Biddanda You rock to the moon and back for doing this. Thank you for your courage and your message.

I wish every psychologist was trained in Recovery-based approaches like CT-R.

@MAlleyne Ugh sorry man. Hope it is mild

[Michael Rollock @MichaelRollock]

@MAlleyne That is hilarious! Perfection

@NaolatK Did it show up?

@MAlleyne @RBC The rare case where everybody wins!

[Michael Rollock @MichaelRollock]

@MAlleyne @RBC Perhaps the best thing to come out of twitter is how it has revolutionized customer service. It removed unnecessary communication barriers and has allowed companies to be responsive or proactive rather than reactive - and to be seen doing so publicly, which is free advertising.
