Honesty is the best policy

A skill that has worked for me for the last 23 years has been honesty. I learned early on that people want the truth and not have stuff sugar coated. After giving patients the information that they needed, they get relieved that someone sat down with them and laid it all out.

If you have something that will help your patient, then give that to them. Your doing an injustice by not giving them the full help they deserve.  I’ve had many people in the past tell me they were appreciative of what I was giving them, in that it helped them decide what they wanted to do about their health. See, we are giving the power back to these people and letting them decide the healing journey they want to take.  

These days I lay it all out on the table.  Not everyone likes it. It can be hard to hear the truth. Not everyone is ready to take a look at themselves and do the hard work to change or get better, or change their diets or behaviors. Unfortunately, these are typically the people I can not help, because they are not ready to help themselves. I don’t fix people, because if I did that would mean people are broken which they aren’t. I facilitate health and wellness by giving you all the facts and empower you to heal yourself. Be wary of anyone who tells you they can FIX you.

Healing can happen in a myriad of ways and everyone is different and will require different tools. Some people will need more physiological work, or structural work, or emotional and energetic work. In my line of work, I can tell you that I end up working on the emotional, energetic component the most. Very rarely is the structural issue the main driver of people’s pain and suffering.

So while we are all social distancing for who knows how long, think about the physical issues that have crept back in over the past few weeks, with the increase in stress, anger and anxiety, due to world events out of our control. Your mind and subconscious is a powerful place, so be careful what stories you tell yourself! As usual, I hope you enjoy the musings from the neuroworld and if anything resonates with you, hit me up!
