Do health and healing depend on personal creative insights? I believe they do, in multiple ways.
- Your creative insights help you see a health issue in a new light.
- Example-- "I never realized it before, but I tend to overeat only when I’m feeling lonely."
- Insights can help you pinpoint a trigger event:
- "Now that I think about it, my sinuses act up when the dog is shedding."
Creative problem solving, including insight, yields other benefits:
- Insights lead to new solutions
- New solutions create personal victories
- Personal victories build self-confidence to meet health challenges
Patient education should include insight learning
Traditionally, patient education focuses on disease. A lot on treatment, some on prevention. But very little goes into patient empowerment.
Insight learning nurtures both self-empowerment and patient self-management. When encouraged in clinics and doctors’ offices, it becomes a win/win for patients and healthcare providers.
