I have double-checked the spelling of “accommodation” a million times in my life 😂

Akhtar (2019) lists the silent virtues as: Patience, Curiosity, Privacy, Intimacy, Humility, and Dignity.
I don’t see “Rascality” on there - time for a second edition 🤣

I wonder if some of the problem is definitional. “Validation” is part of both the everyday and clinical vocabulary (a bit like the word ‘neutrality’). I find when clinicians have a real conversation, off social media, there is a much more reasonable consensus.

Wildly unethical in real life but would make a great action movie!

A thoughtful, informative, and beautifully written piece 👏🏻

That’s because you thought “organic chemistry” was going to be about something else 🤣
