During the pandemic, a new meaning came to Dr Nate with compassion mixed with accountability. This is even more valuable, and the work with clients is more important at that time, when compassion needs to be reconciled with accountability. Every day with Covid -19 opens a different chapter. The need for balance has never been more important as every day it takes on a new meaning.
Dr Nate admits that his personality is not naturally compassionate or naturally empathetic. "I'm self-centered. I want to work on things. I prefer to work on tasks than be with people by nature. So I'm a pretty selfish task-oriented person by nature, by personality. So it's a constant journey of constant struggle. But I grew up around a family that had amazing values and showed me these things." How he treats people depends on whether his compassionate switches are on or off.
