GeriPal - A Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine Podcast · Therapeutic Presence in the Time of COVID: Podcast with Keri Brenner and Dani Chammas · 14 Apr 2020 podcast

Hi, everyone.

Thanks for having us.

So therapeutic presence is about the relationships and the connection that we cultivate with patients and their families that we feel is one of the most fundamental aspects of what we do within palliative care.

We know that we actually have a very robust skill set already in our field, a developed way of thinking about things like symptom management and communication techniques.

But yet we also know that there's this third element of what we do that has a lot of benefit and value to it.

And that's therapeutic presence.

We feel that the more that we can identify these skills and employ these skills, we can be catalysts of calm, catalysts of clarity, catalysts of consolation in this time of distress and anxiety.

No, I mean, I think she really nailed that one.

It's interesting because we know within palliative care that there's a lot of research that shows that our presence leads to significant improvements in quality of life and mood.

And we also have a lot of research that shows that our involvement helps promote better, more adaptive coping within our patients.

therapeutic presence is something that we think is one of the key features that leads to these beneficial outcomes in our work.

Well, I would say to be really practical, we could break it down into three sort of core features and active ingredients.

And the first one is being deeply attentive.

We are present in a way where we have the ability to sit with this and to not be terrified in the face of being with patients who have serious illness.

We are attentive in a way that's undistracted, that's nonjudgmental, that's receptive.

We're totally present in the moment.
