Key Quotes:

- “I thought, ‘If the answer isn’t in dentistry, then where is it?’ And I landed on emotional intelligence.”
- We as practitioners get so good at diagnosing everything clinical, but to diagnose our own emotions, it takes a considerable amount of vulnerability, which is very uncomfortable for most of us.”
- “There’s nothing like testing identity when you pretty much lose function of your dominant hand.”
- “When you don’t think that the past affects you, that’s where you have problems in life.”
- “Just because it’s comfortable doesn’t mean that it is right. Comfort is not the answer—it’s how do we get ourselves working optimally.”
