Treatment choices

🚨PSA🚨When it comes to treatment choices, declining the option offered, or discontinuing a treatment after you’ve started is not quitting. (“Quitting”, we find, has an incredibly negative connotation, and pretty sure that starts in childhood for most of us).

Saying no or discontinuing something is not quitting, it’s saying YES to what you want for yourself. And that’s not a negative, that’s a positive.

That’s not to say that continuing treatment or saying “yes" is a bad thing. The point here is that you get to be in the driver’s seat and not have to worry about the connotation or what others may think of what you decide.

When we use words like “quitting”, we create additional suffering for a person who probably already has a healthy dose of distress.

Have you ever said no or stopped a treatment after starting? How did it feel to you?
