ほっし校長 To understand the feelings of cancer patients [Specific example]
Let me give you a concrete example of how to understand the feelings of cancer patients (based on my experience as a childhood cancer patient at the time).
First of all, it is very difficult to understand the feelings of cancer patients.
When I developed cancer, I couldn’t afford to close my mind and help the people around me understand.
If you can’t understand my feelings,
At that time, I was 10 years old and I was thinking.
There are warm-hearted people who support patients in various ways, but their hearts are dominated by feelings that no one around them can approach, and they understand the feelings of cancer patients. The first thing to do is to encourage them to open their closed hearts.
[(1) Opening the patient’s closed heart]
Specific examples of this method are patient-by-case.
This time, I will talk about it as an example.
The patient feels very lonely. However, when others try to force themselves into that feeling of loneliness, they close their hearts even more.
◼️ Conversation at the patient’s pace
・ Without rushing
・ Slowly over time
・ If the patient responds, continue for a while at the pace of talking again.
It’s a bit of a contradiction, but sometimes I want you to be alone.
As I mentioned before, when you develop cancer, you feel lonely and feel very lonely. It can be very painful to be surrounded by a feeling of loneliness, so I would like someone close to me to be close to me, but sometimes I want to be alone.
It is important to take the time to deal with the situation as if your mind is very unstable.
