In the year since my last post, a lot has changed - we have a new name, Visionary Health Solutions, and new services. In addition to Wellness, Stress Management and Personal Development Seminars for medical and other companies, our newest "Health Solutions" include Anger Management 1:1 coaching and classes; Team Building and Group Coaching sessions; and individual Leadership and Personal Coaching for executives and other leaders, and for other employees or private persons wanting to move forward or being mandated to get help in their personal or professional lives. Visit us at www.VisionaryHealthSolutions.com

Our new "Visionary" services incorporate cutting-edge techniques that can have profound effects. We help clients build and envision successful futures while helping them get "unstuck" and unearth blocks they have to getting there, and then move them toward their goals. Have you tried "The Secret" and visualized your future but are still stuck here? Then you need "The Secret" to "The Secret" - unlocking your subconscious negative beliefs that keep you trapped. And that's what we provide in our coaching sessions and seminars - processes that can flip around sometimes lifelong struggles that work more quickly and deeply than traditional methods. 

I explain more in this "Reverse Your Negative Beliefs 'Blueprint' "
6 minute video. Stay tuned for more on these subjects! 

  

Physician Suicide: A Permanent Solution to a Temporary Problem

 I recently heard of two resident physicians who committed suicide. I was profoundly disturbed. It really hit me that once you take your life, it’s GONE. There’s no going back, for you or those you leave behind. The scars for everyone are incredibly hard to heal. I know this personally from having experienced the suicide of someone close, and I worked for a physician who killed himself.

Have you ever thought of committing suicide? Do you get so overwhelmed it seems there’s no other way out? People think of suicide more than they admit. Verbalizing it is the start of the solution. Put it out in the open. Tell someone you’re thinking of hurting or killing yourself – even if it’s just a fleeting thought. Fleeting thoughts kept secret grow and have a greater chance of becoming reality. And doctors have higher suicide success rates because of their medical knowledge.

Physicians often won’t seek outside help. They think they don’t need it and can handle their own problems. Sadly, these two residents couldn’t. That physicians can always heal themselves is an irony and a fallacy. Though as a doctor you may not believe it, ASKING FOR HELP IS COURAGEOUS. And pain shared is cut in half. Think of your willingness to help vulnerable patients. Then try to see yourself as a vulnerable patient who visits a doctor who is just as willing to help you.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. There is always a way out. I heard of someone who jumped off a bridge in an attempted suicide. He lived - and was grateful for it. He realized as he was going down he didn’t want to die – he just wanted to be out of his pain.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, depressed, suicidal, if you’re using substances or engaging in other addictive behaviors, start talking and get help. Tell a trusted friend, family member, a colleague. See your personal physician. Get referrals to a social worker, psychologist or psychiatrist. Your facility may have such providers. Visit your facility’s Employee Assistance Program. Go to the Emergency Room if necessary. Or call your state’s Physician Health Program, found through your State Medical Society, or through The Federation of State Physician Health Programs. Your life and that of your family and friends may depend on it.
