Recently I made an appointment with a client – first consultation.
I will not present a case on this occasion. I just want to share an 'interesting' experience (honestly uncomfortable for me, but I consider it important for my future work).
Namely, the client called me and after the usual presentation, he said that I cured 'their child' a few years ago. Of course, I couldn't remember, and I was on the street at the time of the call (actually, at the hairdresser's, so I went outside). The first thing I asked was: Did I help the child, because you know that clients often stop calling and we don't know the reason. In my practice, fortunately, communication breaks down because they are cured, or they are well enough to think they are cured. However, I am never sure that the reason is not dissatisfaction due to unachieved results or unfulfilled expectations.
Okay, I helped the child and now he needs help.
The fact that he said a child and not a son or a daughter, drew my attention (to something that I did not pay enough attention to later).
The main complaint is seborrhea, seborrheic dermatitis (or whatever it means, I will take the case and see what is to be cured in that context).
Dermatitis is most pronounced in the head, under the hair and beard (pay attention to the beard; I didn't enough).
Observations and main facts while taking the case:
- seems very confident and open;
- way of sitting, gestures, body language - relaxed, but I notice a slight tension;
- the significant tension and confusion he tries to control comes when I ask how much he was attached to his late grandfather;
- begins an internal struggle and loses balance, changes body position.
Et cetera.
My mistakes:
- I accepted the case on days when I was under great tension due to a family problem; I did not assess my capacities well;
- I missed the main thing, to stick to the main complain.
Because of one sentence, that he is currently in a situation when he is somewhat more stressed, and the stress is caused by competition with his wife at work (they work together and occasionally he has the advantage, and occasionally it is her); now is the time when she is quite 'advanced' and he must now catch up with her, because: "It would not be good for him or for her, and especially for the boys, for her to keep the advantage for a long time."
Now I have an incompletely taken case, a reserved client who did not expect questions about emotions, did not expect me to ask about his relationship with his wife or his ‘weaknesses’.
I don’t want to invite him for an extra conversation at myself, because he needs to come from another city; I don't want to email him additional questions, because he will answer me briefly or not at all; I don't want to talk online because I think I won't get anything more.
I was supposed to 'hold on to his beard' – masculinity.
I'll let you know what I've decided.
I hope this can help someone and make experienced homeopaths laugh.
It's not very funny to me.
