"This is a wonderful segment. As a patient with PTSD, I can tell you when the practitioner fails to look at me as a patient and only the lab result or whatever task is on their agenda, I feel afraid and everything inside me screams run. I usually don't, but it makes for a very unpleasant experience. As you said, it really takes just a little effort to make all the difference in the world. Thank you for your sincere teaching and practice."
