With The End in Mind with Dr. Kathryn Mannix

In this podcast conversation, I chat with Dr. Kathryn Mannix firstly about her experiences with physical death, and secondly some of the more non physical aspects of death and dying including deathbed visitations, spiritual signs that death is close and Near Death Experiences. Dr. Kathryn Mannix has spent her medical career working with people who have incurable, advanced illnesses. Starting in cancer care and changing career to become a pioneer of the new discipline of palliative medicine, she has worked as a palliative care consultant in teams in hospices, hospitals and in patients’ own homes, optimising quality of life even as death is approaching. She is passionate about public education, and having qualified as a Cognitive Behaviour Therapist in 1993, she started the UK’s (possibly the world’s) first CBT clinic exclusively for palliative care patients, and devised ‘CBT First Aid’ training to enable palliative care colleagues to add new skills to their repertoire for helping patients.
