Recently, I handed three children my stethoscope.

They listened to their own hearts, then to one another’s. In that quiet moment, a heartbeat became more than an idea from a science book. It became something alive within them.

This is Docere—doctor as teacher.

“My body is worth knowing. My health is worth caring for. And I can participate in that care.”

I reflect on this experience in my new essay, “I Handed Them My Stethoscope,” for On Being with Dr. Q:

We’ve got healing backwards. It was never about making the pain disappear.

For years I believed healing meant the discomfort would finally be gone. No more ache. No more flare. No more trace of what happened.

Then a spider bite taught me otherwise.

The bite healed months ago. But the spot still flares whenever my system gets activated. The nervous system still stands guard. And I’ve stopped waiting for that to stop.

Here’s what I practice instead, sensation by sensation: Pain can arise without becoming panic. Itching can arise without becoming compulsion. Memory can arise without becoming identity. The biological pattern may still be there. But my relationship to it can change. And that turns out to be the whole game.

Every time a sensation is met with awareness instead of reaction, the old pattern gets fed a little less. Not extracted. Not erased. Just no longer obeyed.

This is why I tell patients the goal was never a body that feels nothing. A body that feels nothing isn’t healed. It’s numb. Health is the capacity to engage life fully, not the absence of every sensation.

Liberation isn’t the erasure of what happened. It’s the capacity to meet what remains without fear.

What would change if you stopped trying to erase it, and started trying to understand it?

If this is how you want to think and explore about your health… Please following me on my Substack on On Being with Dr. Q.

Subscribing is the best way to get the next one. And I mean the question above — what would you stop trying to erase, and start trying to understand?

Clinical research reference:

2. Open-Label Pilot Study (Singapore): An open-label pilot study in Singapore examined the management of ASD with omega-3 fatty acids. This study added to the research landscape but also indicated the necessity for further investigations.
3. Cochrane Review (2011): James, Montgomery, and Williams conducted a Cochrane review focusing on omega-3 fatty acids supplementation for ASD, underlining the requirement for comprehensive studies to draw firm conclusions
