When Doctors Avoid the Doctor's Office

Published: March 7, 2023, 8 a.m.

Have you been putting off going to the doctor\u2019s office?


You would think that as doctors we would have no problem going to get medical care for ourselves, but it\u2019s actually pretty common for doctors to avoid going to the doctor\u2019s office. This comes up again and again for my clients and I\u2019ve dealt with it too, so if this is something you struggle with, you\u2019re not alone.\xa0


Why is it that we avoid going to a doctor? It turns out avoiding the doctor is not that different from avoiding lots of other things in life. In this episode of Weight Loss for Busy Physicians, let\u2019s get to the bottom of what causes avoidance and how to make it easier for yourself to schedule that doctor's appointment.\xa0


Topics covered in this episode include:

  • What motivates avoidance\xa0
  • Why you need to build a strong relationship with yourself\xa0
  • How to get the support you need to finally do the thing you\u2019ve been avoiding


If you know you need to schedule a doctor\u2019s appointment but you\u2019re having a hard time bringing yourself to do it, this is for you. Tune in and we\u2019ll work on it together!\xa0
