Case management/Unprej Obs

[Soroush Ebrahimi]

Although most homeopaths are not trained counsellors, the role is often automatically assumed for you by the patient.

What is limiting is how can we be a counsellor as well as an unprejudiced observer. Because as soon as you engage yourself as a counsellor you may cease to be an unprejudiced observer.

However, there are ways around the problem - some of which may even help in the case taking.
In the main our counselling would involve having to deal with a 'maintaining cause'.

Sometimes the patient is stuck in a way that their mind is not concentrating on the important issues or their are things preventing them to do what they desire.

So a questions like "What is holding you back?" or "From where you are, where do you want to get to in say 5 years time?" and or "What is keeping you in your present state?" are good openers.
WHY? WHO? WHEN? WHERE?
Then "What is stopping you from getting to where you want to get to?"

This not only allows the pt to start thinking for themselves, but will also help in opening a difficult case for you because pt will start discussing things that perhaps they had not even thought about. In this process they will reveal their deeper mental and emotional states which will assist you greatly in cracking the case.
