EP126 Stop Meeting Patients Where They’re At

Send us a textIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I talk about how people-pleasing and a fear of being disliked can sabotage your authority as a practitioner and your patients’ outcomes. I share stories from my own early days in practice, where I let patients dictate treatment, negotiated on my own recommendations, and stayed quiet to avoid conflict. Spoiler: none of it worked. Patients didn’t get better, and they stopped coming. I unpack why “meeting people where they’re at” often becomes an excuse to avoid leading, and how stepping into true clinical authority, without being authoritarian, is what actually builds trust, compliance, and results. If you’ve ever found yourself under-treating, over-accommodating, or avoiding hard conversations, this episode will challenge you to take your seat as the doctor your patients need.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and schedule a Breakthrough Call.
