Overcoming Your Fear of Going to the Doctor

Overcoming your fear of going to the doctor

January 21, 2020 //  by Marian Mitchell//  Leave a Comment

Doctors are a vital part of our society. They help diagnose and prescribe treatment for a range of ailments, both serious and not-so-serious. However, some people are scared of going to the doctor. This can have a massive impact on their health and wellbeing. In this post, you will find out ways to help you overcome your fear of going to the doctor. 

Understand What You Are Afraid Of

Many things make people afraid of attending the doctor. This could be the fear of procedures or diagnosis or being intimidated by a doctor’s office. Your first step to overcoming a fear of the doctors is to understand what you do not feel comfortable with. 

Understanding this will give you the clarity you need. If it is the procedure or diagnosis, convince yourself that it is better to know than to not. If it is the prospect of sitting in a doctor’s office, remind yourself that you will not be there too long. 

Find Or Bring Support

If you struggle with going to the doctor, you can find or bring support to help get you through the process. Speak to a therapist to help you become more comfortable with attending the doctor’s office alone, or you can bring a friend with you to keep you company. 

Bringing this support allows them to keep your mind occupied rather than worrying about what is coming next. They will also be there after the appointment to discuss your feelings and offer comfort if you received bad or concerning news. 

Know What to Expect

One reason that people don’t like attending the doctor is that they do not know what type of tests or procedures will be done. If you are scared of needles, doing blood tests can cause stress and anxiety, especially if you did not expect it. 

When making your appointment, you can ask what the doctor will do. It might be that they want to talk or inspect any problems, and as these are less intrusive than blood tests, it can put your mind at ease. Often, fear of the unknown is the worst part, so merely knowing can make you feel better. 

Recognize That It Could Be Important

We like to think we are invincible and that nothing terrible will happen to us. However, that is not the case, and recognizing this should be a factor in helping you overcome your fear of the doctor. 

Treatments can range from non-invasive to invasive, whereas there are also minimally invasive treatments, such as a uterine fibroid embolization. Regardless of the type of treatment, they can help with issues and are often vital to ensuring you maintain excellent health and can treat any problems that arise. 

The Doctor Will See You Now

There are plenty of reasons why you might be scared of going to the doctor, including negative experiences or being worried about the results of any tests. However, attending a doctor’s appointment is crucial to maintaining excellent health, so while you shouldn’t go to the doctor for all problems, they can help you cope with more serious issues.

Hi! Lots of new faces around here so I thought I w Hi! Lots of new faces around here so I thought I would introduce myself.

I'm Marian. Integrative Nutrition Health Coach who specializes in helping people reach their best health despite any complex health condition.

I love food. Food is a social and emotional experience that everyone can enjoy no matter what they have going on when I'm on their team.

Along with loving food and helping people eat, I love my family. Blended family with 4 kids keeps life crazy busy and I wouldn't have it any other way.

We are pretty big fans of camping, shooting, traveling off the beaten path in our land cruiser, and playing music.

I also enjoy lounging by the pool with my friends, hiking, and thrift shopping. 

Welcome! I love interacting with you so I hope you'll leave comments and PM often!
