“Got insight in my own vulnerability” “Lost my fear for the homeless” “Realise now that the emphasis on autonomy can be a symptom of creating a distance when you do not want to take responsibility as a doctor and person” “I was always trying hard to change myself, now I realise I can simply be myself – imperfection is human” “I feel the distance between me and the others is smaller, yet I know better how to set my own boundaries”
