Anxiety about going to a new doctor

ohhh boy, my anxiety is going up. I have to be at the doctor in a few hours and I am scared. I have trauma stemming from going to the doctor and to make matters worse, it's a new doctor.

I totally get that, I wish doctors were more susceptible to that or had some sort of procedures in place to help people feel less anxious about visits. I know some of them try but some sort of universal practice should be put in place because I know so many people who get even just nervous about going to the doctor and another number of people who are beyond nervous. Idk how helpful or even healthy it is but I focus on how it’s just gonna be really fast in the grand scheme of things and I focus on the point of it being over and I kind of go numb to everything else. Kind of like doing something that sucks like getting out of the shower into the cold or going outside in the cold.
