As I mentioned on a previous post, I was interviewed by a Doctor's spouse name Bea to find out more about Life Coaching for Doctors and how a life coach can help the doctor's wife, husband or significant other. Medical marriages have some of the same issues as other marriages but there are some specific challenges that I hear often from doctors' wives that make them feel that their relationships can be very challenging. Here's Bea's bio again (a wife of a Doctor):
Bea's blog, Finding Equanimity, is about medical marriages and relationships. She writes about ways to find evenness of mind (equanimity) despite the myriad of stresses that a medical marriage can encounter. Bea started her blog because she wanted to chronicle her research on medical relationships and tips that have helped her (and others) along the way. As a result of her research, Bea found my site, and she interviewed me to learn more about how life coaches for doctors can help not only the doctors but their families as well.
Part II of the interview questions:
4) What seems to be the top worry of a doctor?
(Money, family stress, business, malpractice suits?)
Well, I hear it all. Money, stress - which is affecting their own health, relationship issues, worrying about malpractice suits – all of these are concerns that doctors have. I also hear a lot about substance abuse – which I will tend to refer them to another professional if this is the case.
I can address any of these top worries (money, stress, relationships, business, etc), simply by coaching them around the principles of the Laws of Attraction. It’s a powerful coaching tool that works with all of my clients. However, it takes some time to shift their Mind Set since they have been thinking in a certain negative pattern for a long time. But, it’s just like anything … with practice, change will occur.
5) What in your sessions seems to help doctors the most?
The Law of Attraction coaching and the exercises I give them to help them identify what they really want to attract into their life. Also, a willingness on their part to open their minds and try new methods/approaches that will help them to be more centered, feel more joy and improve all areas of their life.
Another thing that is extremely helpful is the consistent support that they get on a monthly basis. After all, we can all get “thrown off track” every once and a while (yes, even doctors, although they may be the last ones to admit that!). But if you have a professional resource that can help you to stay on track and maintain that positive attitude and outlook on a regular basis, then you are on your way to lasting and permanent changes that will enrich your life forever.
Once my clients get that they actually do have the power to change their current reality - even if from where they stand it doesn't look like the stress and hectic schedule will ever change, they feel more empowered and see positive results in their life. I teach them how to shift their mindset each and every day so that they can eventually feel more at peace and witness the positive shifts in their overall energy level and outlook on all areas of their life.
6) What piece of advice would you give to a non-physician spouse in a medical marriage?
You need to keep a Mind Set that is aligned with the type of relationship and life that you really want to have with your spouse. I get more spouses or fiancées calling me about my Life Coaching than the actual Doctors themselves due to the unique challenges that arise when being married to a Doctor & the Medical profession! Hire a Life Coach to help you to manifest the life you want with the love of your life who happens to be a Doctor.
All of us create our own reality by the type of thoughts & feelings we have. The key is in shifting those thoughts & feelings to ones that empower us and match our ultimate desire to be happier in our lives. Many of the doctors' wives come to me with a laser focus on all the things they DO NOT like about their relationship. Matter of fact, they are consumed with these thoughts and feelings that do NOT feel very good. I explain to them that what they concentrate on expands (the premise of the Law of Attraction). I help them to start identifying and getting really clear as to what they want their relationship to look like, feel like, be ... and then I teach them some daily mind exercises that they can personally do to start attracting a more desirable relationship with their doctor husband or wife.
