She explains how informed autonomy, trust-building, and confidently owning 51% of the provider-patient relationship radically improve outcomes and retention. What you’ll learn in this episode: (0:52) How leading your patients—rather than riding along passively—creates better clinical outcomes.(2:27) Why autonomy only works when patients fully understand their options and the path forward.(6:05) How to take the reins of the plan of care by confidently articulating the patient’s dream outcome and the journey required to reach it.(11:14) How to provide true informed choice. (13:11) Why trust is the foundation of every patient decision. (15:23) How lessons from equine therapy illustrate the power of congruence and leadership in patient relationships.(20:41) Why clinicians must own 51% of the relationship to guide patients through obstacles and toward their best outcomes.Clinicians, be sure to learn about Dr. Becky and Dr. Corrie’s Pelvic Powerhouse Clinical Mastermind: https://www.thepelvicpowerhouse.com/group-clinical-mastermind-2026-live Grab your free guides:* From the Ground Up: The Foot + Pelvic Floor Connection: https://www.thepelvicpowerhouse.com/fromthegroundup* From the Top Down: From the Ribcage to the Pelvic Floor: https://www.thepelvicpowerhouse.com/fromthetopdown Join the waitlist for the next cohort of Becky’s course: How to Treat the Pelvic Floor Without Kegels: https://www.thepelvicpowerhouse.com/treatingthepelvicfloor.
