[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8548779, member: 19675"] To amplify this: difficult discussions like “To vax, or not to vax” involve entanglements of both rational and irrational beliefs, and as such, are [I]incredibly [/I]difficult to handle, even with relevant training. My Dad is an immunologist with a MPH. I have trained in mediation, which is a multidisciplinary field that does involve aspects of human psychology. And we have so far not convinced my antivax cousin ( and his kid & GF and [I]her[/I] child) of the need to be vaccinated. Unless/until he and those in his inner circle are vaccinated, they’re not going to be able to visit us. (And he really loves my Mom.) I’m not sure a psychotherapist or medical consultant would be able to succeed where we have failed. Now imagine having this kind of discussion without any training whatsoever, just your personal relationship with the other party to rely on. [/QUOTE]
