The Art Of Healing Through Listening - with Dr. Fred Moss
Dr. Fred Moss is an author, podcaster, and a graduate of Northwestern University Medical School and a licensed psychiatrist who has served the mental health industry for nearly four decades. During that time he has consulted patients, practitioners, medical facilities, non-profit organisations, and community groups. Ellie talks to Dr Fred about the ways in which he is challenging the status quo with the phenomenal work he is doing, why he believes so strongly in the power of communication, and why challenging the accepted knowledge and asking questions is the way we can all truly become better. KEY TAKEAWAYS Communication, both speaking and listening, is the bedrock upon which empires are built. If we develop and grow our skills in this crucial field, then we are truly developing our ability to change the world for the better. We cannot always put our behavioural patterns down to some quirk in our personalities, or some medical condition. We must recognise that human beings are complicated machines, and would rather apportion blame to a condition than take responsibility sometimes. We can often fall under the control fo self-perpetuating conditions and use medication as a crutch that does us no good. We must seek to break away from our diagnosis and look internally for the cure. Our children are precious and must be given room to grow and learn without the addition of potentially harmful medicines that do little nurture individuality. Instead of seeking medical remedies first, we should seek to discover where the cause of the problems lie. The saddest thing about the pandemic has been the division that has arisen from proposed methods to move on. We must seek to bring communities back together and work for a fruitful cooperative solution instead of segregation.
