Michael Trout and Mary Koloroutis

Written and Produced by Michael Trout, See Me as a Person provides a diverse mix of patient stories and caregiver reflections on therapeutic relationships. Inspired by the award winning book See Me as a Person: Creating Therapeutic Relationships with Patients and Their Families, each track is carefully crafted to inspire and deepen our experience of what it means to be fully present for those we care for.

We recognize that conditions do not always support our best selves and our best efforts. We offer these meditations especially for those difficult times. Your work, whether it happens to take place in a hospital, a clinic, a homeless shelter, a long term care facility, a private practice, a public health outreach program or in a home health program takes courage and a fierce commitment to holding the human connection center to all you do. May this offering be, in some small way, a source of encouragement, strength and affirmation for you and your extraordinary commitment to caring.
