Kristeen Barker and Doctor Becc, and welcome back to *Am I Doing It Wrong?*, the podcast for doctors by doctors. WE ARE GOING TO KEEP TALKING ABOUT THIS UNTIL WE CHANGE THE RHETORIC IN HEALTHCARE. If you're going through a difficult time recently and you're JUST STARTING to treat yourself and talk to yourself more reasonably... AND THEN SOMEONE COMES ALONG and says something like, ☄️ "Just be positive" ☄️ "You're just being fragile" When you've always been someone who criticises yourself (ahem, many doctors), this familiar dialogue can easily infiltrate your assessments of yourself. This week, we’re diving deep into how to stay in your integrity when people give unsolicited dismissive 'advice' And why we believe it’s okay - and even productive - to NOT just 'be positive' and to actually spend time experiencing the emotions your body is producing. We explore how we can navigate these interactions without letting others’ words derail what we know is best for us. Join us, Doctor Becc and Kristeen, for an empowering discussion on how to stay grounded and in your integrity in the face of critical and misguided advice. In this episode: 🫀 How to recognise when someone’s “advice” is actually dismissive and lacks logic and self-awareness. 🫀 Why it’s essential to embrace and validate our negative emotions rather than suppress them. 🫀 The problem with societal pressure to always “stay positive” and how it leads to a disconnect from ourselves. 🫀 The impact of toxic positivity in medical culture and why we need more compassion and open space for processing emotions. 🫀 Tools for processing unsolicited advice from a place of self-awareness and emotional resilience. 🫀 Why tuning into your values and recognising your own expertise on yourself is the key to making empowering choices. Let’s keep this important conversation going AND CHANGE THIS DEFAULT RHETORIC IN HEALTHCARE! We all deserve better. If this episode resonated with you, share your thoughts, stories, or questions 💌
