Listening Shapes the Story: A Narrative Medicine Approach
With Elsa Asher, MA, RCST​®
November 12, 2019
​7:30 pm

Picture
​Listening is a key tool to help establish a healing relationship between practitioners and their clients/patients. The recent crisis in maternal health witnessing mortality and morbidity of pregnant and birthing women/parents is a space where listening skills can be lifesaving. In fact, National Public Radio's expose on the crisis revealed how birthing parents don't feel listened to or believed leading to a culture of Denial and Delay of care.

"What is the shape of our listening? Imagine your listening is a bowl. Is the bowl clear, or are there things in there? If there are, deepen into an awareness and accounting for this and practice ways to clear the bowl, to offer a clear and open space for listening." -- Elsa Asher, MA, RCST®​

Listening is a key element to Integrated Prenatal and Perinatal Dynamics. Come, Study, Learn, Heal, and come especially to this talk by Elsa Asher, MA, RCST
®​, prenatal, perinatal and attachment practitioner.
