Personal Things become Professional – Self-experience in Nursing

Abstract

Self-experience in nursing leads to an expansion of personal and professional scope. Emotionality, empathy and perception become, as it were an instrument, more precise and coherent to use. Self-awareness raises questions, as well as directing one’s gaze to wherever the entanglement is located. Where patterns are repeated over and over again or internal laws require compliance it becomes clear why, and what of it should remain the same or be changed. Self-experience raises awareness and reduces psychodynamic symptoms.
