Lowering The Stress Response In Patients Immediately [PPP #148]

In this episode of the Profitable Practice Podcast, I interview Dr. Amanda Ferris, ND about her method on instantly improving your patient’s confidence and trust in you as their practitioner.

ON THE VERY FIRST APPOINTMENT, YOU SHOULD BE PREPPING YOUR PATIENTS TO HEAL EMOTIONALLY/ENERGETICALLY WITH THIS TECHNIQUE .

While totally scary for me, I know that healing comes from the emotional layers of every patient I see. I always positioned myself as a good listener, but never wanted to open “that box” and go deeper.

I’m thrilled that Dr. Amanda, ND’s technique is NOT about exposing the past traumas but more about making your patients aware of when their body is in a fight-or-flight state and taking the proper steps to bring it back down to ‘calm’ or ‘rest and digest’ state.

It’s honestly the simplest protocol that I’ve been exposed to, and now you get to learn about it too!

Tune in to hear how she elaborates the idea.
