Well I was a year over due for my annual physical. I don't know what it is, but I seem to have a slight "fear" of Doctors. But this week I finally made it in. I wanted to turn around and go home, the whole time I was driving there. I tried using the self-talk that wasn't working so well, so I listened to session 3 on the way instead. I made it I saw the Dr. & I am SOOOO Proud of myself for not "putting it off" for yet another year!!!

WhoooHooo that is a Biggie. I am very proud of you for fighting off that stinkin fear and telling it whose boss!! You are:)
It's very common to fear the Doc. I still go but still sweat like a woman with a high fever each time hahaha
You Did it and that's what counts!!
You rock!

I know how you feel j33825 - just remember it will be ok. There is nothing to be "scared" of. if you can I would suggest listening to one of the CD's on your way... that helped me a bit!!
good luck to you - you can do it!!!

I hate going to the Doc too. ( Hows that for someone who is on session 3 and trying to banish negative thoughts.) My BP always goes sky high. I will play the CD tomorrow while I'm on my way and see if it helps. Thanks

I am very proud of you for going!! You did it! Give yourself a round of applause

It's something when you face your fears because it takes the edge off.And helps you to do that task again with more ease since you will have that familiarity.
Here a list of some things that I tell myself at the doctor
1.They care about me
2.They have my perfect health as their goal
3.Wellness is what they are dedicated to.
4.Sickness (fill in the blank with yours)Does not scare them or make them anxious. It makes them determined to HELP me feel better.
5. There isn't an illness that they have not seen before and can't handle
6 I know where the restrooms are, I know where the exits are and that the building is very safe.
7. They are trained medical staff to handle any medical emergency so if I should have one I am in the Perfect Place

Now I don't have to say these every time I go . Those are some that I have said in the past to calm myself. I have a good doctor and his nurses are super nice so that helps too

Going is a big step . So again Bravo to you j33. I think you done good

Jill~
