From Fear to Fun: Your consultation room is their dungeon
From Fear to Fun - Efficient consultation - Empower patients by Astrid M. Koenig
Episode notes
To children, your exam room may feel like a dungeon. This episode reveals why — and how small changes can shift fear into cooperation.
We unpack:
- Why unfamiliar medical spaces trigger fear
- How loss of control shapes a child’s emotional response
- The neuroscience behind “imagined pain”
- What children see, hear, and sense the moment they enter
- Why even routine hospital environments feel overwhelming
- How our own familiarity blinds us to their experience
