Education is key. *Words are more powerful than we realize. Patients will take on a personality around a diagnosis. As a patient, you are not your diagnosis. As a therapist, you carry a tremendous responsibility with the words you use. Therapists can hold clients back if we don't use words that empower. Change outcomes by choosing different words.
