Dealing with nervous patients is part of the job, right? I often find that explaining the process in simple terms really helps ease their fears. Has anyone tried specific techniques or tools beyond just talking it through? I’d love to hear what works for you.
I’ve found that using a bit of humor can help; I usually say something like, ‘It’s just like a brief mosquito bite, but hopefully not as annoying!’ Have you tried any visual aids or distractions while drawing?
I’ve had success using distraction techniques like asking patients about their favorite TV shows… It really takes their mind off the draw! What kinds of distractions have you tried?
