TAKE HOME POINTS FROM Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh

1. Going through an identity crisis...if you think you may need therapy...counseling...therapy or even medication...what are you making that mean? Does that mean you are not smart or perfect?? Newsflash! There is NO perfect. We all need to mind check-ups...mental health is just as important as your body health.
2. Not taking care of your thoughts causes resentment….feelings of the second shift when you come home. Getting upset when your spouse is sleeping and you are not!!! When you are breast feeding and cleaning the kitchen and organizing the toys and you feel like you are the only one doing it. Life coaching has helped her with perspective
3. Emotional Dysregulation….cannot regulate the amygdala when you are so spent….When you take something small and think it’s the END OF THE WORLD!!!! 
4. Don’t feed the seagulls

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

• Am I living from a place of reactivity?
• Do I accept myself the way I am?
• Do I have awareness of time as it passes?
• Do I decide how long I want to spend on a certain task and stick to it?
• Do I get behind at work regularly?
• When I cannot make a decision, do I jump into anger or irritation?

 I still have a few 1:1 coaching spots open for you! If you hate getting into fights with your spouse, this is your invitation to spend more of your precious moments at home IN LOVE instead of being angry, upset, or annoyed!

RSVP NOW!  

Who would you be if you felt less misunderstood by your spouse and more appreciated in your marriage? No time is better than now and no investment is as valuable as this investment in yourself.

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE

Medicine: 

• How she found out her daughter had no immune system
• Emmy’s first year with severe combined immunodeficiency
• Why she could not breast feed her baby
• Why the treatment for SCID was not straightforward
• Why they decided not to wait for a thymus

Marriage: 

• How Baby’s illness affected her marriage
• Deciding early on she did not want a divorce
• How her marriage was put on hold
• How they recovered quickly, despite the arguments
• Why her hubby said, “It’s okay...I am just going to turn you in for a younger, hotter model”

Motherhood:

• Why she decided to take a leave from fetal sonography
• Why abnormal results may not mean the worst thing
• A Mother’s job is to worry

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM LAURA HALL

1. Before telling bad news to your patient, imagine having no idea what half the words out of your own mouth mean...and getting slapped in the face with FEAR. How you think a patient should handle this? Sometimes as physicians we get so used to telling our patients about some new disease, we forget their life is flashing before their eyes. They don’t know what we know. They are scared. They want all the answers. Instead of becoming annoyed that they don’t understand, they won’t accept a diagnosis, or they won’t do what we recommend, try turning toward self-compassion.
2. There is a lot of "We don’t know in medicine." Medicine is not just a science. It is also an art. We must remember that patients are not aware of how much we actually do not know and how much time a diagnosis can actually take to make. Understanding that our patients may be sad, angry, or upset is key. Their feelings are not an attack on who we are or our profession. Just accepting this may is the first step. Allow your patients to be angry, irritated, sad and even confused. This is all normal. 
   1. Drop the ego.
   2. Apologize.
   3. Make up!
   4. Love unconditionally. 
3. We may get into arguments and say choice words to our hunny. Can we recover quickly?

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

• Do I want all the control of things I have no control over?
• Do I allow my patients to have all the feelings?
• Am I good at letting go of my ego?
• How do I recover after an argument with my spouse?
