He Knew Nothing…
But Taught Me Real Healing
Welcome back! We’re continuing our Five Secrets of Effective Communication series with an awesome new video.
Video of the Week: He Knew Nothing… But Taught Me Real Healing (22:30)
This is the story of how Stirling Moorey, a young, insecure medical student from London, helped change the course of my career—and inspired an incredible breakthrough in communication.
In this moving video, I recount the moment I realized that warmth and connection—not just technique—are at the heart of healing. It all began with a difficult case, a floridly psychotic patient in crisis, and an unexpected third person in the room: a trainee with no formal experience, but a rare gift for listening.
From that session emerged a revolutionary framework: the Five Secrets of Effective Communication. These tools—Disarming, Empathy, Inquiry, Assertiveness, and Respect—can transform your personal and professional relationships, but require “the great death” of the self.
