Healing Journeys: Dr. Dimpi Patel on Overcoming Obstacles in Medicine
Healing is such an art and we don't have all the answers, and there are subtleties to the journey that can be triggering and invalidating to talk about, because sometimes there are limitations to the language that we're using to describe these phenomena.
Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right but still not making progress in your healing journey? Dr. Dimpi Patel joins Dr. Talia Marcheggiani on 'The Good Mood Podcast' to discuss these very frustrations. They dive into the challenges that arise in doctor-patient interactions and the unseen obstacles that can leave both parties feeling stuck. Dr. Patel shares her experiences and insights on why patients sometimes feel like they're spinning their wheels, despite their best efforts.
In this candid conversation, they tackle the limitations of language in medicine and how it can sometimes be invalidating or triggering. They explore how trauma, psychedelic medicines, and holistic approaches like Polyvagal Theory and nutritional psychiatry can play a role in healing. Dr. Patel emphasizes the importance of understanding the interconnectedness of adrenal and gut health, and how these systems impact our overall well-being.
The episode is a call-to-action for patients to take an active role in their healthcare and to foster a collaborative relationship with their practitioners. It's not just about following doctor's orders but being an engaged participant in your own healing process. If you've ever felt lost in the 'jungle' of disease and despair, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice to help you find your way out.
