What it addresses
Clinical training teaches what to do for patients. This book focuses on what helps clinicians do that work well over time: handling uncertainty and self-doubt, building working relationships, protecting energy, learning from mistakes, and staying connected to meaning.
Each chapter pairs research with clinical stories and practical exercises.
