What I Wished I Knew Before Quitting Medicine-Video#2

As promised, in this series, I’ll elaborate on the most important mistakes I made that, had I addressed them in time, could’ve changed the ending of my story. I might have been able to save my relationship with medicine—or at least delay my exit until I was closer to retirement age. Today, I share the second video in that series, exploring the first mistake: Not listening to my own voice. What is the difference between good old resilience and dangerous dissociation? During medical training, we learn to disconnect from our bodies to work through brutal conditions. We ignore sleep deprivation, hunger, and often pain, and keep going, often as if on autopilot. Without us knowing, that becomes an ingrained habit that, later on, delays us from taking action until the situations in our lives become intolerable. In this informal conversation, I’ll share with you some of the physician coaching tools that have worked great with my clients to reconnect with their thoughts, improve clarity, and set intentions in motion.
