Cultivating Calm in the Medical Mind.
You feel pressure to add another patient into your already packed clinic, for fear of offending the referring doctor or getting a bad Yelp review.
You’re not on call but the ER calls you anyway, because “you’re always so helpful”, and you feel like you can’t say no.
Perfectionism got you through school and training, but now the stress of having to be perfect is making you miserable (AND imperfect).
You went into medicine to help people, but now you’re counting EMR clicks until the end of time.
You feel stressed that you can’t be in the clinic and the ER at the same time, and wish that cloning was a thing, but you realize you’d still take the worst jobs for yourself, because you wouldn’t want to upset the clones.
You went into medicine to change lives, but it’s your life that has changed, and not for the better.
But what if there were ways to take back your power and regain control of your life?
Because there are.
You can be in charge again.
You can reconnect with why you went into medicine in the first place.
You have the resources to create the life you want. You just have to find your path again.
However you want your life to be better, coaching can help make that a reality.
