Hope

There's an article in today's Doc Talk segment of Mind Your Body by Dr Ang Peng Tiam which strikes a cord with me. In an earlier post, I shared about the comfort one gets from people with core of light and how as therapists, we too can provide that comfort.

For Dr Ang, his ability to be honest yet providing hope to his patients is wonderful. Dark clouds are a reality and it is easy to just focus on the darkness. It takes communication skills, a positive core and mindset and a compassionate heart to seek that silver lining. It takes patience and time to help someone else see it.

Hope. A very precious word indeed.
