Thank you, that is very useful! I do often find myself trying to "just do something," not just with patients, but also with family members who are processing life difficulties. It can be so important to realize that the active listening we are doing in itself is a beneficial intervention. Trying to think of how I might "do something" to help takes up cognitive amd emotional resources I could be using to help my patient feel heard, understood, and valued. Thanks again, and thank you so much for doing the AMA!
