Overview
Bring the heart back to healthcare through the power of deep listening.
In today's high-pressure healthcare environment, nurses and caregivers are often pulled in many directions-charting, tasks, and time demands-leaving little room for authentic human connection. Yet what patients need most is to be seen, heard, and safe.
In Heart to Heart: Spiritual Care through Deep Listening, chaplain and educator Dr. Clare Biedenharn introduces the Quaker Listening Model (QLM)-a simple, profound framework built on tools you already know. Grounded in both evidence-based practice and timeless wisdom, this model helps caregivers move beyond transactional care to presence-based connection.
Through powerful stories-from the ICU to Hurricane Katrina-Dr. Clare shows how intentional listening can:
- Rehumanize care by restoring compassion and presence at the bedside.
- Renew professional purpose for nurses and caregivers facing burnout.
- Strengthen communication between patients, families, and healthcare teams.
- Foster spiritual resilience in the midst of crisis and suffering.
Discover how one small shift-listening with your whole presence-can transform care, renew your spirit, and change lives.
