Dr. Tabatha Barber discusses why women should trust their instincts about their own health instead of deferring entirely to doctors. She emphasizes listening to your body's signals and using heart-centered practices like prayer as part of healing.
If you're there as the patient and you have subjected your authority to this doctor who you think might know more than you, the truth is your body and yourself, you know what's right. And deep down somewhere, you know whether this medication or this treatment regimen or their suggestions for your treatment are right or wrong. And so I would take back that power and really go into your heart space. Sometimes I literally put my hand on my heart and my belly and close my eyes and pray and just ask God for wisdom. And sometimes images will come and I'll just say, God, what does that mean? And that's, I know my right brain, my intuitive self, Speaking to me, not in words, but in a small, still voice, but giving me maybe the most powerful wisdom of the direction of the healing path. And I could, I won't waste all the time here, but I could go on and on with stories of some little intuitive space where I felt a direction to go for healing or for my career or for relationships. And this space has been 100% right on.
But that's really not the truth. And we are sitting here telling you as very highly educated medical professionals that you actually know your body better than we do. You just might not know what it's saying, or you might not have been paying attention, right? That's absolutely just so powerful. And I hope women are feeling hopeful and inspired of maybe I can figure this out even though my body has changed and I feel like it's betraying me. I think I can actually figure this out going forward, right?
