Even if I'm not a practitionner (MD), I found those two articles really interestings and helpful to achieve a better treatment including a greater satisfaction of the patient.
I have some interrogations even if they're not at the core of the acticles. I direct those to mister George hopefully.
In the first paper, you said "First I was empowered to trust my intuition with my patients"
In the second, you linked the beige level of development with instinct. In the dictionnary, the difference is not really big between both. What the difference do you make between intuition and instinct? One being at the lower level in your article and the other, even if you don't associate it at a level is quite obviously at an higher level in your mind. Does it make sense than the awareness that you talk is the difference?
Secondly, I was astonished that you put "demented patients" at beige levels as if the people suffering of an episode of illness was at the same center of gravity. Don't you think a person at a yellow vs red center of gravity will have different comportments in the episode of illness too?
And could it be possible to have this same awareness from the patient? The actual current in mental disease is to have the participation of the patient in his own recovering.
