When you are “successful” it is harder to change.
What makes charge hard for those trained in medicine?
-
We assume negative outcomes and tend to catastrophize.
-
We focus on negative what if’s and we don’t like uncertainty.
-
We like control, plans, and evidence-based action.
-
We tend to be people pleasers and don't want to disappoint.
-
We are often over-responsible at the expense of ourselves (martyrdom).
-
We tend to be risk-avoidant and afraid of making mistakes.
What is needed to finally change and have it stick?

You have to want to change yourself -- instead of wanting others or things outside of you to change
