Reflect on a time when you made a quick assumption in a clinical situation. How might that assumption have been influenced by an unnoticed cognitive shortcut or bias?

During a recent high pressure moment at work, did you notice yourself forming quick labels or assumptions? How might stress or urgency have influenced your perception during that situation?

Think of a time when you heard or used a label (e.g., non-compliant or difficult). How might that label have shaped the way the patient or family was perceived or treated?

When you hear the word bias, what emotions or reactions arise in you? How might viewing bias as a human cognitive pattern, rather than a moral failure, shift your openness to self-examination?

When you think about your professional identity, do you primarily see yourself as delivering tasks or participating in healing ?  What would need to shift- in mindset or practice - for compassion to feel central rather than secondary in your daily work?

In your recent clinical work, when have you noticed curiosity narrowing or a quick label forming? What shifted, if anything, when you simply became aware of it?
