Lon: I agree that we need to " meet the patient where they are " . And then I

think its our obligation to offer the opportunity to go further. In the deepest

sense its never enough until its to much, and then a decision has to be made

to stand in the face of one's fear and burn, or retreat. That's where

evolution occurs. And that's what I'd call healing.

In Clinical Practice I published a case study where, at the first session

I told a women " you have a viscseral repulsion to intimacy " . I returned the

next day to hear my messages and thhat she had cancelled all her ensuing

treatments. 5 years latter I received an invitation to her wedding and, on the

receeiving line she informed me that those very words " burned " through her like

a

homeopathic remedy and she could not face them with me. She remembered being

abused by her music teacher when she was 6 yo and went to a female practitioner

to heal. " it was that first session with you that allowed me to heal and is in

large part reesponsible for me being here today-thank you " she told me.

I'm interesteed in planting that seed and I don't care how many patients

I lose iin the process.
