Everyone Needs to Talk

After 40 years of saying “It’s going well” when people ask about her diabetes, Ann-Charlotte realized that she is actually really sad that she got the disease – and that she has much more weighing on her chest than she is able to offload with her diabetes nurse.

Despite Dan’s knowledge and efforts, his blood sugar goes up and down. Often he doesn’t know why. He forgets that he can talk to his family and friends about his diabetes, although it’s on his mind all the time.
But whenever he meets someone with diabetes, that is all they talk about.

Mindful Listening Supports Behavioral Change

When someone truly listens to us, we become

more relaxed
more self-aware of our strengths and weaknesses
more willing to reflect in a non-defensive manner.

Being listened to make people more likely

to cooperate, and to change.

But There’s Seldom Anyone Really Listening

When you start talking about an issue you have, the person you are talking to will soon start thinking about a similar issue that they have. When they catch their breath, he will say: “Ah, that’s exactly how it is for me as well.” and start telling his story.

Most everyday conversations happen in this style.

I have often thought that a person needs to have insight into or be medically knowledgeable about diabetes in order to talk to me as a diabetic, but with this peer to peer coaching, I have realized that what I often need is just someone listening.

My first great insight from peer coaching is that I am not alone. There are more people with diabetes with the same behaviors and challenges as I have. That feels very good.

The insight is how important this is and, actually, how much better it feels to talk in a setting like this than it might feel to talk with people close to me.
