Looking at our healthcare landscape, it can be easy for clinicians to become cynical and jaded. Access to care is a struggle for many. As chronic conditions skyrocket, stress management and healthy lifestyles decline and people are unhealthier than they’ve ever been. Medical professionals are working more hours than ever, yet basic lifestyle-related health conditions are exhibiting in younger populations with greater frequency. Physicians, advance practice providers, nurses, and patients alike are frustrated with a dysfunctional system. So why even bother to practice?
You bother because you care. And, while no one can change the healthcare system overnight, it is possible to have a positive impact on patients—one patient at a time— by taking just a moment to breathe, pay attention, and consider how the patient can best be served.
Often it can be helpful to interject a new perspective into a dysfunctional system to support the patient when they are not in the clinic—when they are living their everyday lives. By inviting fresh eyes and ears into their lives to support them, the patient can begin to take responsibility for their own health. Healing Ground Health Coaching fills that need.
Below are several situations or conditions for which health coaching can be especially helpful. Suggesting health coaching to a patient may make a big difference in their lives, as they may not be aware that this option is available—or how valuable it can be. Please feel free to contact me with questions about my services or to learn how health coaching may be helpful with other conditions.
