Document those Reaction / Response from Patients

[Guest guest]

Hello Elizabeth,

 

Can you tell me if the responses that the patient experience(whether

bruising, diarrhhea, or whatever the " bodys response " ) mean

anything?

 

Is there any documented cases that they will get response A or

response B?

 

I am looking for cause and effect. I think there has to be some

cause/effect process if bruising or whatever occurs after the body is

adjusting. But as you said " Every person reacts differently " which

makes sense because of our own uniqueness.

 

When someone tells me that " something " may or may not happen to me

any unknowns are big " what ifs? " . How can I distinguish what happens

as a response to the treatment as opposed to something totally

different?

 

Suggestion:

1. Lay things out to the patient as doc said the the road map is

important.

 

2. You may also want to set up your practice so that it is a

requirement or it is to their benefit (or however you want to phrase

it) that they document and get back with you on how their body's

responses were over XX time frame so YOU can continue with the

sessions....it could be for your own records, your own R & D or

understanding or just to catalogue the patient rsponses. I do not

know if the Bowen account for what the responses were and then

detemine a treatment from there but the point is " DOCUMENTATION " OF

course I say that because I am looking at it thru my own lenses.

 

I know from my experience as a patient, I have received treatements

from people where all I had to do was sit and not even think about

anything...just being a recipient to treatment....NOT actively

participating in it. I felt more in control of my situation when

they asked me about X, Y or Z or even if they told me to note how I

my body is responding to the session. It was odd because I really

thought this lady was a quack eventhough what she was doing was

actually working as I noticed the shifts in me.....Just having people

do things to me feels like I am going to an operating room and being

cut open ro have operation XXX done to me....and voila! You are

fixed. Sometimes it's OK but when it's the first time seeing a

person, you really ask " Did I just get hosed? "

 

And that may be just the heavy metal in me that is talking / asking /

analyzing.
