The Healing Process
My patients seek my assistance because they are in pain, angry, depressed, afraid or feel that their behaviour is out of control. One thing they are certain of is that they want something to change. For me, it is simply a matter of planting seeds: seeds that allow me to understand the origin, the characteristics, the unintended consequences and treatment of the emotions that lead to behaviours that need change.
People are so creative and intrinsically intelligent that given a chance, they perceive the truth within their own experience and perception is not always reality. I never really know what will sprout from these seeds I plant in my patients’ minds, how they will spread or how soon they will grow and even bear flowers, but by fostering participatory medicine, my patients are not passive recipients of treatment but instead, partners with me in their healing processes.
