If we only know how to use a hammer, we’ll only try to fix things with a hammer.
This is great if all we’re dealing with is nails
But what happens when a screw comes up?
The hammer ain’t gonna work, but a screwdriver will..
A different tool
I was talking to a nurse the other day…
Prescribing 9 year olds anxiety medication…
Now I don’t believe in that, but let’s see things from the other person’s POV
They went to school for 4 years and studied medicine, medicine, medicine – they’re trained to cover up symptoms, not deal with them.
Instead of giving the 9 year old a bandaid, why not teach her how to cope with anxiety? How to shut the thoughts of in their mind?
Well, that could only happen if the nurse can shut off the thoughts in their mind vs covering them up with a bandaid, too…
