Like My Father, I Put the Care in Healthcare

July 8, 2021July 6, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

When I was 12, on our walk to synagogue one Shabbat, I remember when I spoke to my father about my aspirations to be a nutritionist instead of a doctor. I said I wanted to spend more time counseling patients (as well as focus on prevention, rather than treating disease). My father avidly understood.

The Rain in Pain is Anything But Plain

Sometimes it’s Kelly Clarkson, other times it's My Fair Lady. Taylor Swift had an interview once where she said she was afraid that when she was in a happy relationship she wouldn’t be able to write about break-ups anymore, which has always been her jam. When I heard this I immediately disagreed. Once we are … Continue reading The Rain in Pain is Anything But Plain

Last week when our water was off due to a block-wide water leak, I went back after my morning workout … Continue reading Empathy Is Key

Increased Self-Compassion Breeds Greater Compassion for Others

August 27, 2019August 19, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ 1 Comment

One day I was driving through the local shopping center, and I thought about how far removed I felt from the person walking in front of the stop sign in which I was stopped. I was ready to continue driving the instant that person cleared the area. Why I myself am a pedestrian I feel … Continue reading Increased Self-Compassion Breeds Greater Compassion for Others

Foundations of a Healthy Romantic Relationship

February 14, 2019February 13, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Last week a co-worker of mine expressed how valuable my role as a baby room teacher is. She said that by providing the babies with love and nurturing I am providing them with a foundation for healthy relationships in the future. In a previous post, I wrote about how I am grateful to provide nurturing … Continue reading Foundations of a Healthy Romantic Relationship
