EP94 Protecting Yourself From Energy Suckers
Episode description
In this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., we tackle the challenge of managing your energy as a practitioner, especially when dealing with emotionally intense patients. I share a conversation with a mentee who struggled with carrying a patient's anxiety long after their appointment, as well as my own past experiences with difficult patients.
We discuss how to protect your energy by setting boundaries, shifting your mindset from "fixing" to "guiding," and practicing compassion instead of irritation. Avoiding energy-draining situations isn’t the solution—learning how to manage your mind and emotions is. If you’ve ever felt drained by a patient interaction, this episode will help you build resilience for a long and fulfilling career.
