Dr. E Overcomes Crippling Anxiety to Take Medical Boards

Dr. E had achieved her lifelong dream of becoming a doctor. She had worked tirelessly to get accepted into medical school, excel in her studies, and complete her residency. But there was one final obstacle in her way: overcoming anxiety so she could sit for her medical boards.

Dr. E had been struggling with it for many years. She had tried everything to manage it, but nothing seemed to work. Every time she scheduled the medical boards, she would become overwhelmed and end up rescheduling. She would procrastinate about studying. And spent tons of money on rescheduling fees!

Seeking Help

One day, Dr. E saw a video of me online and was immediately drawn to the message of hope and possibility. She decided to hire me as her coach to help her overcome anxiety.

Over the next four months, Dr. E worked with me to develop a personalized plan for managing her anxiety. Her plan included hypnosis as well as self-hypnosis. She learned how to identify and challenge her negative thoughts, and she developed effective coping mechanisms for dealing with anxiety-provoking situations.

When it was time to take the medical boards again, Dr. E was feeling more confident than ever before. She knew that she had the tools and skills she needed to succeed.
