Robert Waldinger, MD - Teachers Make a Difference - Dan Buie, MD

Dr. Dan Buie was Dr. Waldinger's psychoanalyst, and one notable aspect of psychoanalytic training is undergoing personal psychoanalysis. Dr. Buie stood out as warm and exceptionally curious, particularly about Dr. Waldinger’s assumptions regarding himself and life. Through their sessions, Dr. Buie helped Dr. Waldinger dismantle these assumptions, revealing the possibility of living without self-imposed or societal constraints. Ultimately, Dr. Buie's curiosity and guidance led Dr. Waldinger to embrace a more natural and authentic version of himself by challenging and questioning these assumptions.
