OTO Episode 73: Exploring Salutogenesis - 4 Salutogenic Principles that Lead to Flourishing

In Episode 72 we introduced the concept of Salutogenesis and my feelings about it's ability to impact our profession; specifically how it has the potential to aid us in discovering our Flourishing State or that state in which we are:

 "Being free from illness and distress but, more important, of being filled with vitality and functioning well in one's personal and social life." - Source 

Today we discuss the four principles that make up Salutogenesis:

1) A Sense of Coherence - This is comprised of three major factors; comprehensibility, meaningfulness and manageability

2) "Other" Factors - The intangible factors that improve interpersonal and intrapersonal resiliency skills 

3) Defined Salutogenesis - A clear definition of what salutogenic medicine is

4) The Mind-Body Connection - What are the physiologic affects of the presence OR lack of a mental state of flourishing

Begin to understand just what it means to be a salutogenic practitioner and how it can change the way you work day by day.
