Your colleague’s sharp comment keeps replaying in your mind.Two of your students are trapped in a“he said/she said”battle.When you reflect on your emotional reactions,you sometimes get caught up in cycles of negative feelings,which can make you feel even worse.If so,the answer may lie in a skill called“self-distancing”,the ability to take a step back and view yourself more objectively.According to a research,when people adopt self-distancing while discussing a difficult event,they make better sense of their reactions,experience less emotional suffering,and display fewer signs of stress.
But what might self-distancing look like in action? Consider a typical“he said/she said”student conflict where they are each focusing on their own feelings.One is thinking,‘‘I can't believe he did that to me”And another insists.“She really hurt my feelings”However,if you ask them to take the self-distancing,they might step outside of themselves and ask broader questions:“Why was he so hurt in this situation?”or“How did her anger affect him?”
Although this approach may sound too simple to be effective,studies indicate that a change in point of view can have a powerful effect on the way people think,feel,and behave. Here are several different techniques you can try.
First,consider how a thoughtful friend might respond after quietly observing their situation.Besides,avoid using the pronoun“I”.Focus on using third-person pronouns,he,she,they,and they were able to see the stressful event as challenging rather than threatening.Finally,ask yourself,“How would I feel about this one week from now or ten years

Shop with Your Doc is part of a broader and still growing movement in US medicine to shift the focus away from simply treating disease toward caring for the whole person.It is meant to help people make educated,healthy choices,one grocery cart at a time.Across the country,hospitals are setting up food banks and medical schools are putting cooking classes on the curriculum.Nonprofits are connecting medical centers with community resources to ensure that low-income Americans have access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
For centuries,Western medicine’s mission was to cure disease.“But over the past generation,two significant trends are of concern to the medical community,”says Timothy Harlan,executive director of Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine at Tulane University in New Orleans.Healthcare

costs began to increase sharply,and relatively inexpensive, poor-quality food became more common.“There’s a very straightforward link between people improving their diets and improving the condition that they have,”Dr·Harlan says.
The connection drove the medical and nonprofit communities to rethink their approach 10 health.What emerged(浮现)was the concept of the“social determinants of health”—the concept of taking into account the biological,physical,and socioeconomic circumstances surrounding a patient.A healthy person isn’t just someone who is free from disease,the theory goes;he or she also enjoys“a state of complete mental,physical and social well-being.”
The question the medical community now faces is how to get patients—especially low-income families—to recognize these determinants and make it possible for them to eat and live healthier.In Boston,medical experts responded by creating an on-site pantry(食品室)at Boston Medical Center.Since its founding in 2002,the pantry has evolved into a kind of nutrition center when primary care providers at BMC send patients food.Today the pantry, which gets 95 percent of its stock from the Greater Boston Food bank,hosts free cooking classes and serves about 7,000 people a month.The Greater Boston Food Bank has also launched its own initiatives(倡议),striking partnerships with four community health centers across the state to offer free mobile produce markets.The organization also helped develop toolkits(软件包)that map local pantries,markets that accept government food vouchers(代金券),and other resources.
At Tulane in New Orleans,Harlan is leading the development of a curriculum that combines medicine with the art of food preparation.His philosophy:Doctors who know their way around a kitchen are better at helping their patients.And empowering(增强自主权) patients to take charge of their own diets is one way to help them deal with the incredible costs

of health care,Harlan says.The curriculum has since been adopted at 35 medical schools around the United
States.“Chipping away at bad habits is a good place to start getting patients to think about the choices they make for themselves and their families,”says Dr Maureen Villasenor,the Orange County pediatrician(儿科医生).
