Listen "Healthcare provider course - Module 6. Spreading curiosity"
Episode Synopsis
Emotional contagion is unconscious and can be toxic when we interact with other people. In this podcast, you will learn:- How emotional contagion impacts on the interactions with patients and colleagues.- How to use curiosity against the maladaptive effects of emotional contagion. Emotions can be unconsciously spread from one person to another through facial expression, tone of voice and body language. Emotional contagion occurs everywhere, at any distance (e.g. through social media). Clinicians can be infected by patients’ or colleagues’ emotions and overreact as well as they can infect patients and colleagues without being aware of the contagion. Compassion, kindness and curiosity can be an effective mental vaccination against anxiety, frustration or any other stressful feeling. The home practices for module 6 are to recognize emotional contagion and to explore what happens when you inject curiosity into the moment. Turn “Oh, no!” into “Oh?!” with an upward inflection of the voice. Or hmmm your way into awakening your inner child: curiosity.GUIDED MEDITATIONS Curiosity (5min) https://drjud.com/curiosity-5-min/Curiosity (10min) https://drjud.com/curiosity-10-min/Curiosity (20min) https://drjud.com/curiosity-20-min/To ask questions or suggest future topics, please comment below or connect with me on Twitter @judbrewerClick here to subscribe to my Youtube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi6bQu-Df7Wh2x3gFT5a8awBuild your body awareness using mindfulness practices, like those in the free "Breathe by Dr. Jud" app, available on both Apple and Android devices.Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/breathe-by-dr-jud/id1472340683For even more resources on anxiety, including free mindfulness exercises, visit my website: https://www.drjud.comFollow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/judbrewerFollow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dr.jud Let's connect on Instagram
