Giving Space

This past week I was reminded about how space is given in the appointment when I see a patient.  Space to talk, to show, to express what is bothering them. Nothing had changed in this particular appointment on how I meet with a patient. I was just reminded of it. I felt and feel a deep respect and wonderment on how homeopathy can give the kind of space that a person needs.

My job is to witness what is bothering the patient. I have learned over the years to meet the patient where they are. To be flexible. Where they are now is where we start in the healing process, giving the homeopathic remedy that is similar to them at this time.

How Some Patients Are

Some patients are very factual in their telling of what is bothering them, relating numbers of tests, or not elaborating on how they experience their symptoms. This may be what they are used to when going to a health practitioner. Many times it is a physical symptom or a specific name/label/diagnosis that has brought them in for homeopathic care.

In addition to telling me about their physical symptoms, some patients talk about their emotional state. Often sharing a story, a situation, or a relationship that they are in now or were in the past, and how they feel about it. How it affects or affected them.

Some patients may not say so much about their physical symptoms. They talk more about the world they life in, their reality, feeling that something is not quite right about it. Often they will say, “This doesn’t make sense”, or “I don’t know what I am saying”, and continue to talk. This is what happened this past week with a patient. I have had people say “I sound crazy” or “This is crazy what I am saying”.

If the person is non verbal, such as a baby, they are expressing themselves in other ways than in words. Wherever the persons speaks from and however they speak.

I want to mention again how homeopathy can be helpful when someone has coronavirus; for someone who has had the virus and is continuing to not feel well; and someone who may have had a reaction to the vaccine.

I work with people of all ages who have a persistent and ongoing health issue and are not feeling as good as they know they could. Despite doing different healing treatments, they feel their health issue has not been resolved and have no clue on how to do so. We work together to get to the root cause of their health issue, and heal there.

“I Feel Anxious”

“I feel anxious.”

We may be hearing more people saying this,  from both adults and children. In this past year, we have been living in more uncertain times than usual. From this, some of us are feeling more anxious than usual. 

We can’t necessarily change what is happening around us, but we can change and help ourselves in how we response and react to what is going on. There are many different healing modalities that can be helpful for this and when someone feels anxious. Homeopathy is one of them, and homeopathy can be used along with these other healing modalities.

Feeling Anxious

One girl experiences severe stomach aches and nausea. She doesn’t want to eat. She feels very anxious and is very concerned about her family members.

A woman feels out of control. Cries a lot. She feels very anxious. Notices that she is eating a lot, out of feeling anxious and she isn’t hunger. 

Most of the time when someone comes to homeopathic care there is a particular physical issue that is bothering them.  As they talk, they may say “I feel anxious”. As a homeopath, I want to know what this anxiousness is like for this person. For example: 

• What do they mean by anxious?
• How do they feel anxious in their body?
• Any physical symptoms? Stomachaches, headaches, rashes. difficulty breathing, sleeping difficulties, dreams, behaviors, thoughts, fears.  What are these like?
• What triggers the anxious feeling?
• How do they react or respond when they feel anxious way?
• What do they do when they feel anxious?
• Is there an image to this anxious feeling?

We are not a one size fits all. That is the same with helping someone when they feel anxious. IT is finding out about them.

Transparency

I am about choice – to have a choice in your own health care. That is part of why I write this blog. To tell people about homeopathy, how it can be healing and helpful for someone’s health. Having choices is empowering.

I write in the blogs about patients I have seen. I have talked about the coronavirus. I have written about first aid situations, the flu, digestive issues and more. I am showing you the extend of what homeopathy can be helpful for.

I don’t give you, if you have this particular issue, take this homeopathic remedy. (Maybe I do that in the blogs on first aid.) Doing it that way is what traditional, western medicine does – you  have this, you take this. With homeopathy, we are addressing the individual, you. How you experience what bothers you. Giving you the homeopathic remedy that fits you. It is not a one size fits all medicine. We are all different.

Sometimes, I think I am talking too much homeopathy, like what I wrote above about looking at the individual person. Maybe that is not what you want to hear. I am always tempted to talk homeopathy, to say more. I know homeopathy can be so helpful for people. You might just want to hear, how it can be helpful for me.
.
My passion is to help people naturally through the use of homeopathy, and also for people to have choices.

If I can be of help, please contact me here on this blog or through my website www.homeopathytoheal.com.  We could do a Get Acquainted Call.

Holiday Season 2020

We are at the start of the holiday season, 2020.

I often send a post out around this time – about the holiday blues, about the expectations people have of themselves and of the holidays. This year, there is just more ______ . I don’t know what the word is. I think the just more comes from the physical restrictions or guidelines for these holidays, and for the unknown and uncertainty that we are feeling.

When I mentioned to one woman recently that there was a holiday next week, meaning Thanksgiving, she said “What, a holiday, which one?” People are feeling a loss, a loneliness, sadness, anger, fear, angst, depression, grief, guilt, happiness, joy, pride (these too), and many, many more emotions.

I want to wish you all a happy holiday season. I can say be kind to yourselves. Yes, do that, be kind. But also know that this is a difficult time, and a different time. And it is okay to have the feelings you are experiencing.

What has this got to with homeopathy?

Maybe nothing. But I always plug homeopathy. There is such a need for it. Always and now. For its gentleness. For its seeing and hearing the individual person. For its healing. For its compassion and humanness.

If I can be of help to you or a family member, homeopathically, please contact me here or through my website www.homeopathytoheal.com. I see patients locally to and out of the San Diego area using WhatsApp, Facetime and Skype.

Happy Holidays.

Be well.
