A short interview segment from a YouTube video (uploaded March 12, 2024, by Robert Whitfield MD) where Robert Whitfield MD and another speaker discuss normalizing emotional responses to risky but important health decisions and emphasize developing mental flexibility and adaptability as part of healing after breast explant surgery. The excerpt references behavioral concepts (e.g., automatic "Click Run" patterns) and highlights a proposed framework to help patients adjust mentally during recovery.

Because we're humans. And that's another thing I really work to do is normalize these experiences that we're having. It's just part of being human and doing something that's important and for some of us can feel risky.
To your point we made previously in discussions, you created a framework where you stress mental flexibility and being able to adjust and adapt. And whether it's someone like Robert Cialdini who talks about our Click Run programming like we just get into Click Run. This is what it is. This is what we do. I think a unique proposition that you bring is creating a opportunity to adjust and become more mentally flexible, if you will.
