Telling your doctor to “just treat me” doesn’t benefit you

My clients often me that, when they received their diagnosis, they told their doctor to just treat them. Essentially, they didn’t want to be involved in their treatment. This is at its core another form of denial, because by giving your doctor all the power, you are also avoiding becoming educated. Sure, it can be hard to be faced with the hard facts about your diagnosis and what treatment might involve. But, on the other hand, it’s better to know than not to know. By powering yourself up with information, you are ready to partner with your healthcare provider. You might even learn about some options they aren’t familiar with. Information is power!
