Beyond controlling: attentive reflections
This blog
explores attentive medicine — and the many reflections, questions, and
experiences that surround it. While attentive medicine invites observing,
listening, and questioning with the hope that insight will shine a light on the
body’s wisdom and reveal why it changed, it reaches further: into human
consciousness, change, illness, and the deeper patterns that shape how we live.
attentive
medicine is not about returning the body to what it was, but about
understanding what made it change. It is grounded in observation, presence, and
inquiry — not control. It does not aim to fix, but to listen gently and
honestly to what the body may be saying.
Conventional
medicine is remarkably effective at controlling many conditions through
pharmaceuticals, surgery, and other interventions. attentive medicine does not
replace this work; rather, it accompanies it — not to intervene, but to pause,
to reflect, and to ask what else might be seen or understood.
The videos
here follow the threads attentive medicine touches: philosophy, psychology,
personal and collective experience, culture, current events, and attention to
everyday life. This is not a place for answers — it is a space for questions.
You are
invited to take part. Your comments, suggestions, and insights not only shape
the conversation here but also help evolve attentive medicine as a living,
responsive practice.
This work
draws on over two decades of clinical, research, and humanitarian experience
and continues alongside my practice as an NHS GP. I offer online consultations
in English, French, and Italian for those who feel their illness may carry
meaning and who wish to explore what their body expresses.
