ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Episode summary Dr. Ya-Ling explains the self-interested reason she keeps asking people to speak up about small things — and why the dramatic relief that looks so impressive in a treatment room is almost never the outcome she's after. This episode is about the difference between rescue and lasting change, and about the two reasons people wait.
In this episode
• Why arriving in crisis produces the most impressive result and the least durable one
• The part of clinical work that feels good to practitioners, and why Dr. Ya-Ling doesn't build her practice around it
• The two reasons people almost never mention small things
• What you actually gain by coming in early, beyond getting the problem sorted
• A different question to ask when you catch yourself minimising something
