Too Anxious to Book a Doctor's Appointment

The challenge

Dee came to me with a ‘block’ about being unable to pick up the phone to call and attend necessary doctors appointments, this was most unhelpful and had been going on for far too long!

The effect

Dee wanted to make the call but was unable to move forward and this spiralled knowing every single day an appointment needed to be made but she just couldn’t physically make the call. It filled her with shear anxiety which was becoming detrimental to her health.

Solution

Listening to Dee in her coaching session and understanding she needed and wanted not only to be able to pick up the phone with ease and calmness to book an appointment she also needed to attend the appointment with her doctors surgery sooner rather than later. Also to be able to make the calls if needed in the future without the anxiety. Dee felt that this was a stretch.

We did a full ecology check and understood what was to be lost and gained by finally letting go of the unhelpful belief of not being able to call the doctors and attend an appointment now and in the future. We discussed what the benefits will be of being calm and in control of making the appointment and attending. Also making sure there were no secondary gains for not making the call!

I guided Dee through the beautiful NLP sub-modalities process at her pace where we changed the internal representation of the unhelpful belief to the outcome she wanted.

A final check and future pacing was great and Dee left The Sanctuary.

Result

The very next morning I received a message from Dee. . .

I got up, booked and attended an appointment!!

I have no doubt that with your help I’ll overcome other blocks and fears. You don’t even realise it’s happening, it’s super clever.

Dee continues to be able to book her doctors appointments with calmness.
