About this listen

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
