🌟 What Physicians Are Saying

“This retreat was the most amazing experience of my life, It really was. Thank you. You saved my life.” ~ Family Medicine Resident, PA

“As the son of a doctor and a psychiatrist, I’ve run across all kinds of would-be healers and experts of the mind. I’ve never come across anyone like you or anything like this experience—the depth of clarity and awareness that you brought to this process you were facilitating within me—I just don’t know how to talk about it or find words. You were laser-focused on lighting a path for me to discover my dreams. You were working on a different dimension that I couldn’t quite see. And you did it without any pretenses, judgement, or bullshit.” ~ Psychiatrist, WI

“Having been hospitalized several times for severe depression and suicidality, I can absolutely say that Pamela’s environment is much more conducive to healing than a psychiatric ward. I’m launching my own clinic when I get home to escape a very toxic operating room environment. Oh, and I left as an author.”  ~ Anesthesiologist, TX

“I came to you a broken person. What is the poem on the Statue of Liberty? Give me your poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free. I’ll never forget the feeling of you speaking to me in a way that was very directed. I felt I was breathing the light of your breath through the air into my lungs that was birthing this life inside of me. . . I love how you specialize in healing physicians’ souls.” ~ Family Physician, OR

Live Your Dream Physician Retreats

If you’re a physician, chances are you’ve struggled to live your dream in medicine—most doctors are disillusioned. Chronic disillusionment doesn’t just sap your joy; it leads to chronic disease. In fact, your medical career can cause both physical and mental illness (especially for empaths). Straying from your soul’s purpose will inevitably lead to a lifetime of regret.

An unfulfilling career impacts your mood, relationships, and longevity, increasing your risk for heart disease, autoimmune conditions, cancer—even suicide.

Unhealed wounds from training follow you for life. You may have never revealed the depth of your despair with anyone (even yourself). You may wonder who you can trust without risking license repercussions or professional retaliation.

While antidepressants might provide temporary relief from professional misery, they don’t address the core dysfunction within a broken system.

Live Your Dream Physician Retreats (2025 Edition) captures countless conversations over my thirty-year career and nearly fifteen years leading physician retreats. Meet doctors who are living their dreams. May our words inspire you to live your dream too!

Pamela Wible, M.D.

Physician, Heal Thy Inner Critic →

Physician, Heal Thy Inner Critic Research Results (video above, data highlights below)

What’s an inner critic?

The inner critic is the internal voice that judges, criticizes, or demeans you, often highlighting your flaws, mistakes, or shortcomings.

Why do so many physicians struggle with an inner critic? 

Doctors may have a strong inner critic because medicine demands perfection, punishes mistakes, and rewards self-discipline to the point of self-denial. From early training, doctors internalize high standards and a fear of failure, often pushing themselves with harsh self-talk. Add to that the emotional isolation, burnout, and impostor syndrome common in the field, and the inner critic becomes not just a voice—but a constant companion.

What are common physician inner critic phrases?

Research reveals the most common phrase is “I am not good enough.”  Others are:  “I should know more about this than I do” and “I must not be as smart as my peers.”  Physicians even carry “I’m not good enough” into their personal lives with circulating thoughts of  ” I’m not a good enough friend, daughter, wife, mom, doctor.” Reference video above for categories of statements ranked by prevalence. Selected charts published below.

Why identify our inner critic phrases?

Once we become aware of critical self-talk these voices can be silenced. Hypercritical perfectionism, approval-seeking, and self-sacrifice phrases often stem from childhood, and are reinforced by medicine’s demands. Identifying core dysfunctional beliefs limiting your success promotes personal healing and makes us better doctors.

Physician, Heal Thy Inner Critic Research Results

Research results reveal sneaky ways your inner critic can sabotage your career (and entire life!) The good news? You can take your power back. Interviews with 134 physicians by phone, email, and focus group identify common inner critic phrases; when hypercritical voices begin; and how to quiet your inner judge—for good. 

Physician Inner Critic Question #1

3. None. I have no inner critic.  17 (12.7%)
4. Other: (please share) ________  16 (11.9%)
5. I must be perfect.  13 (9.7%)
6. I must know it all.  8 (5.9%)
7. I’m a failure.  7 (5.2%)
8. I’m alone; I can’t trust others.  7 (5.2%)
9. Any mistake means I’m a bad doctor.  6 (4.4%)
10. One error and they’ll see I’m a fraud.  5 (3.7%)
11. My needs are selfish; I please others.  4 (3.7%)
12. Patients deserve better than me.  2 (1.5%)
13. If I’m struggling, I must be weak.  2 (1.5%)

Hilarious history of Doctors’ Day →

National Doctors' Day Cards and Flowers

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬’ 𝐃𝐚𝐲—and I’ve been up since 5 am passing out these handmade cards & red carnations at emergency departments & veterinary hospitals. Want to celebrate with me?

On March 30, 1842 ➡️ Back when surgery meant agony, a young man braced for pain—only to feel nothing. Dr. Crawford Long performed the first painless surgery! His inspiration? Victorian ether frolics—laughing gas parties! Guests inhaled ether or nitrous oxide, fell, got bruised up, kept laughing—yet felt no pain. Ever had a surgery? A dental procedure? Grateful to feel nothing?

Psycho Therapy: Doc gets 74K to label whistleblower “bipolar” →

View 3-minute video above ⬆️ transcript below.

How Delta grounds a top pilot for flying too high

Meet First Officer Karlene Petitt—mother of three, grandmother of eight, author of 15 books, with two master’s degrees and a Ph.D. in aviation safety. In a field where less than 5% of Delta pilots are female, she’s among the most accomplished pilots in the sky!

Delta’s Christmas gift

On Christmas Eve 2016, Karlene opens an envelope from Delta. Not a holiday bonus—a letter ending her career.

Months earlier, Delta grounds her, ordering a psychiatric exam by their hand-picked doctor—who today declares her “unfit to fly.”

Why discredit Petitt?

A year prior, Delta CEO urges employees to speak up on safety. Petitt follows orders.

Perfect timing! She’s writing her Ph.D. thesis on aviation safety.

So she presents a 43-page safety report to her supervisors, detailing pilot fatigue, inadequate training, falsified records, and near-catastrophes. Basic stuff you’d think an airline would want to fix.

Instead of thanking Karlene, her supervisor files a Section 15, alleging she’s mentally ill, referring her to Dr. David Altman. Delta pays Altman $74,000 for Petitt’s bogus bipolar diagnosis—barring her from flying forever. Read more ›
