Heart to Heart: Spiritual Care Through Deep Listening
Clare Biedenharn became an advocate for her husband when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. “What would you do if this were YOUR family?” For many the natural inclination is to ‘fix’ the problem by offering suggestions, but that approach is limited by one’s experience and personal biases.

Dr. Clare discusses an effective model of listening she field-tested with critical care nurses. She consults with individuals, health care professionals, and organizations, helping them discover deep listening can lead to deep connection.
