Salvatore Cajiao is a Psychologist at a Palliative Care Hospital, working with people at the end of their lives or requiring palliative care for untreatable diseases.That places him in a unique position — he connects with people in their final moments and hears their reflections on how they lived, as well as what they wish they had done differently.In this video, we will cover topics like:𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘦?𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘺 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵 𝘪𝘵𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦?𝘋𝘰 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴?𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘹 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴?How really important are things like guilt, impact on others, status, money, career achievements, for people at the end of their lives?This was my toughest conversation in the show, and that will be visible in the episode.
