The Physician Philosopher

In this podcast, I dive into the therapeutic window of coaching (yes, one exists). Because it is important to understand how coaching tools can be used to create great change or can be used to inflict pain on yourself. I want to talk about how to avoid the later and use these tools correctly.

Today I am going to take an unapologetic look into the current state of this country when it comes to vaccines, shaming, and American individualism. This episode I’m going to get real about this pandemic, what I think one of the major problems is that uniquely sets America up to be ravaged by this disease, and how we can fix it.

Spoiler, I do not think this is the patient’s fault. I do not think this is the fault of those that are not vaccinated. Listen to today’s episode to learn how we can come together to truly end this pandemic.

Physicians often think there isn’t enough time in the day to get everything done (and this thought often is a key thought that leads to burn out). Did you know that you have the power to create more time in your life? Time that allows you the work-life balance you are desperately seeking. But in this episode I am going to show you exactly how you can create more hours in your day so that you can have the life you want.

Understanding how to self-coach through situations and feelings like this is ultimately what can change not only how you feel, but the choices you are making. You have more control over every situation than you think.

One of the most common questions that I get asked about physician coaching is, “How is coaching different from therapy?” And this is one of the most important questions to answer for doctors who feel trapped in medicine because Trapped Physicians often feel burned out and they want help but aren’t sure what help to get.

So many doctors and physicians would agree that the medical system is broken. The system has been built to accommodate so much paperwork and those that hold the money and doctors are at the mercy of it all. While I agree there are a lot of things that need to be fixed about the system, I have also seen firsthand how doctors can overcome these systematic problems in medicine. Coaching just might be the cure doctors have been searching for. The answer you have been looking for. Listen to today’s episode to find out if you can finally cure your burnout.
The current system of medicine doesn’t help either. This system quickly turns doctors into external validation junkies. Our entire self-worth can become attached to who and what other people think about us as physicians. But what if you knew your self-worth and made decisions from what is most important to you? This idea (and how you get there) is what we are going to dive into on today’s episode.
