HSP How To: Manage Doctor Visits
Going to doctor’s visits is inherently overstimulating for HSPs. And, it’s really important that we are able to communicate and advocate for ourselves with the doctor, dentist, etc. The keys are preparation, practice, and partnership. Prepare what you want to say. Practice by telling your buddy what your symptoms are, and take a partner to help you take notes, feel grounded, and interpret what is happening. That way, even if you become overaroused, you have back up. (Heck, just making the appointment or driving there can overarouse me!)
