How to Choose a Great Healer – Vol. 468, Sept. 20, 2018
Having been a consumer of health care, and having been in the healing profession for over 30 years, I have a few suggestions in this area.
- Does your healer put your needs as the client/patient necessary for a good healing relationship – loving you in the sense of being really present with you, being prepared, and being creative in the manner in which the treatment can be provided.
2. Does your healer look to the “cause” of the problem and the ‘purpose’ of the problem that is being treated? Or, are they just looking at the ‘presenting problem?’
3. Does your healer, “get you?”
4. How does your healer deal with being ‘personally’ confronted by you when the healer doesn’t agree with you or being told that what they said really ‘hurt’ you? The healer has more power, so how they respond to these challenges tells a lot. Great healers, stop, go inside, self-reflect and ask if there is some validity for this confrontation? Does your healer validate your feelings or ideas expressed in the confrontation?
5. Does your healer take on your issues as their own? This is a very bad response. Your healer needs to empathize with your situation, leaving your issues as yours. This allows for strong and healthy safe boundaries.
6. Does your healer look at you as a “whole” person, a whole organism that could have many reasons for the issue with physical issues looking emotional and vice versa?
7. Is your healer into transformational changes, having taken these steps in their own life? It helps for your healer to have been through this process themselves to help you.
8. Is it all about medicalization, or is it about healing you?
9. What does your healer’s Website say about them? Are they a real person, or a ‘Persona’ of a “clinical professional?” If you are into having a “real” relationship with your healer, it needs to be reflected on their website both in how and what they share about themselves and how they are represented by those who know them or have worked with them.
10. Does your healer allow you to make payments that you can afford toward your treatment if you are self-paying?
11. Does your healer see you as an integral part of the process? If not, move on. You as the client/patient know more about your body and mind then any outsider could. The healer has the tools and techniques to help, but you are at least 50% of the solution.
12. Do you like your healer? Do you trust your healer? If you don’t like or trust your healer, move on.
These are important aspects to look for in any sort of healer you are working with, especially in mental health, where the stigma involved can be daunting to the client. This is an important relationship and can have a long-term negative impact on you, the client, when it isn’t healthy for you, by choosing to stay with a healer that is a bad fit. Take the time to learn about these aspects of the relationship, so you can get healthy more quickly with the correct healer for you.
Remember that there are all sorts of healers out there with many different personalities. It is okay to realize this and choose someone that fits your philosophy of care and health. Also, from the healer’s point of view, it is very important that they care about their clients/patients. If they don’t, they are creating a situation that is untenable for both participants. Make a point to not engage in this sort of relationship, because a great healer is worth the time and investment for sure. I know, because without the many great healers I had on my journey, I would certainly not be the healthy individual I currently am – both physically and emotionally.
