Mindfulness Meditation: Because it's very easy to get into this cognitive
Because it's very easy to get into this cognitive distortion of labeling things as all good or all bad, or this is a terrible catastrophe and it's going to end everything for me. Just because I got to see in my class, it means I'm a failure in labeling ourselves.

Just because I got to see in my class, it means I'm a failure in labeling ourselves. When in reality, if we just have a little bit of a pause, go back and think a little bit rationally with less of our emotional mind, we can go a lot further. And that's not easier."

Burns, who I'm actually scheduled to have a conversation with the next month. And how that therapy can actually help an individual.
"Burns, who I'm actually scheduled to have a conversation with the next month. Kind of on the forefront of the development of CBT and talking about how our cognitive distortions, which are natural emotional reasoning part of our brain that we're all susceptible to can sometimes go too far and drive these symptoms of anxiety and depression in us. And how that therapy can actually help an individual."
The consequences of it, I think remain to be seen
I think we need to study more of it because we on the front lines don't have perfect answers to all these questions. And that's why I get frustrated a lot of times on health podcasts because I frequently see guests come on and talk about things that they claim to have all the answers to.

I'm not walking out of that room in 15 minutes
What if I have how many times have I had a patient that was scheduled for 15 minutes that comes in with a stomach ache. I'm not walking out of that room in 15 minutes.
"The real problem is doctors have quotas of how many patients they have to see in order to get paid. What? What if I have how many times have I had a patient that was scheduled for 15 minutes that comes in with a stomach ache. And then I find out their loved one just died that they got a recent diagnosis of brain cancer. I'm not walking out of that room in 15 minutes. You have to be a human as much as the doctor."
