they say don't meet your heroes, babe, but i've never been one to follow the rules! the star of today's show is one of my acupuncture inspirations, the inimitable Ann Cecil Sterman! 

in this episode, we discuss:

  • how ann defines listening
  • her origin story and meeting jeffery yuen
  • setting up your physical space (and body) in a position of humility as a practitioner
  •  the trap of sympathizing with your patient
  • skipping small talk
  • why "i'm so sorry that happened" might be the worst thing to say to a patient
  • ann's definition of a successful treatment
  • when patients "misbehave"
  • practicing acupuncture like you're a teacher or an artist (spoiler alert: you're both!)

    • and much, much more!
