Brilliant piece, Ruben!

I absolutely love your distinction between a "scene" and an actual core value—that’s a profound shift in perspective that a textbook simply can't capture. It’s a beautiful reminder that our clinical frameworks only work if we build that genuine human bridge first.

Thank you so much. Sorry for not responding sooner. I am still figuring out my way around SubStack. Have you seen the follow up piece?

We learn the most from a failure we can’t forget. Most of our truest lessons didn’t come from the curriculum but a personal interaction. The connection after we find the “ essence” is certainly one.

Totally agree. Thank you. I just published a follow-up piece. Wonder what you think.
