“Feeling a sense of
confidence in my listening skills is not something that just dawned on me after
taking a seminar or two. It was something that revealed itself to me slowly one
patient at a time. Just like when you step into a dark room it takes some time
for your eyes to adjust; it's a slow process, a gradual process, one that is
not all-of-a-sudden. If you just give up and keep your eyes closed you
will never see anything. In the same way, with Listening you have to keep
practicing and practicing. Use it on every single patient regardless of
whether or not you feel. Your hands will become more and more sensitive
to these subtle movements until one day you'll look back and say to your self,
"my sense of palpation has grown so much in this work".
