We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

The Buddha

We live in two worlds. We suppose that there is an outer world of things, people, objects, places, sights, sounds, atoms and galaxies. The outer world is a very convincing idea, especially if you have just stubbed your toe!

However the only way we can know the outer world is through our senses and mental processes where our inner world meets the outer world. From the overwhelming flood of sensory data we sift and filter to construct a model, or representation of the world, so that we can make sense of it in the flickering magic lantern show of our consciousness.

It’s a very convincing show and usually we agree amongst ourselves that what we experience is really out there, occasionally we disagree and sometimes we even get it badly wrong.

Patients and carers aren’t the only one’s who get stressed.

In a study of 401 cancer specialists in the UK, 102 exhibited possible psychiatric morbidity and more than one in ten showed clinically important levels of depression. The study was published by Professor Chris Todd and his team at the University’s School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work and Christie Hospital, Manchester in Clinical Medicine in June.

Dealing with serious illness can be hard work and very stressful for all concerned. In the survey mentioned the respondents noted that talking with distressed relatives was one of the stress factors.

Of the respondents they found 102 with levels of psychological distress, 44 had scores indicating depression and 15 expressed suicidal ideas.

Coincidentally our first introductory workshop Applying NLP: An Introduction is based around this very issue. How can you be with people in an effective way without being overwhelmed by their suffering?

The day long workshop is at St Oswald’s Hospice in Newcastle on July 18th and it’s free of charge to anyone working in a hospice in the Tyne and Wear area. Let me know if you are interested
