When You Feel Uncoachable

How do you deal with those days when you feel like you're unable to do or learn something? 

In this episode of the Ending Physician Overwhelm Podcast, we'll talk about the phenomenon of feeling "uncoachable." It's a sentiment that's often expressed by individuals who are hesitant to engage in coaching, therapy, or any form of self-improvement due to various mental and emotional barriers. I see it all the time in my clients, and I've experienced it myself as well!

We'll dive into the reasons behind these feelings, including self-criticism, discrepancy between facts and perceived stories, and the "benefits" of remaining unchanged. Because as we come to understand our own unique barriers, we can start to ask ourselves important reflective questions to slowly break them down. Questions such as, "What experience do I want to have?" and "Who is really benefiting from my uncoachability?"

My hope is that this episode will provide some common ground for all of us who sometimes feel "uncoachable" to reflect and find new perspective for our lives. So enjoy, and thank you for being here!
