Ep 19 | Rehearsing Courage: How to Prepare for Medical Appointments, Conversations, and Advocacy


Listen Later

Looking for a way to feel more confident before your next doctor’s appointment or medical decision? In this episode of Well Considered, we explore how guided visualization can help you stay grounded, clear, and calm in high-pressure healthcare situations.

Inspired by last week’s conversation with Dr. Beth Westie, this episode walks you through three immersive visualizations designed to help you:

  • Prepare for medical appointments with confidence

  • Navigate difficult conversations with family or friends about medical choices

  • Share your informed consent story online or in your community

    Visualization isn’t just for athletes. It’s a powerful, science-backed technique for creating new neural pathways, regulating your nervous system, and advocating for yourself when it matters most.

    Whether you’re facing a vaccine decision, birth plan, or chronic care choice, these visualizations help you practice showing up fully informed and emotionally steady.
