Description

In this episode with Claudia Cometa, she and Dr. Rhiannon Winsor explore the emotional and psychological side of healthcare communication, focusing on illness identity, grey space, and how language can either empower or disempower. Claudia shares how to reframe chronic illness, promote patient resilience, and build trust using trauma-informed communication strategies. Ideal for clinicians, health center teams, and anyone working in value-based primary care, this conversation is a guide to healing beyond prescriptions.
