Minutus

I have a client who is never happy with the results. For instance I gave him one remedy and he was 70% better but it wasn't good enough for him. I like to do facial analysis- he refused to have his picture taken. He did not say why just no. It has nothing to do with religion and such and he himself is an avid photographer who has won many awards. Any thoughts on how to handle this situation as well as how to repertorize this?

Ask him if he really wants to heal!
Many people cling to their symptoms for some reason or other.
Now that is something to explore.
As a photographer he may be like many others who hate their photos taken.
My daughter is like that.
Issues of personal exposure? Vanity (low self image)? Something else?

consider nitric acid? (okay okay, shooting from the hip…)

But -- I would ask what he is most bothered by in the remaining 30%? It may be that his most troublesome issue is still within that 30%, and that would be useful to know.

Knowing why he doesn't want his picture taken could be a useful clue to the remedy?
Maybe if you put it in terms of curiosity, plus the joy of being hard on the heels of a good riddle, maybe you can charm or disarm him into revealing why?

I think he expects immediate responses. He changed the subject and I felt like he was leading me through the interview steering me and bringing me back to his physical complaint. He is open to this treatment yet at the same time needs to know exactly what it is and what it will do to him, emails me "I will not take this remedy ever again" so maybe I will ask him if he wants to heal.

he also sounds very controlling. consider that as a symptom in his case.
is he judgemental? or condescending? is he compensating for a needy side
of his personality? just some thoughts to consider as you know the case.

I would not do that, it's a homeopath-ego question, not one to heal the client - clearly he wants to heal, or he would not consult you. Different people heal different ways:
I'd ask more questions to get him talking - so he can explain how he feels, what he fears, what he expects, what he wants to see, etc. It's about him, not you, I'd get to know the essential person, what *he* needs, how *he* needs to feel. (It will all help to do better remedy selection anyway). Take him seriously. Don't try to make him into how *you* want him to be. Address his concerns with real answers. That will dissolve his control/trust/suspicion issues - otherwise I suspect they can become a wall preventing progress.

Just my opinion.
Namaste,
Irene

There are people who come for the attention and not healing. They like to see you
spin your wheels. Whether they that consciously or not, it is part of their intention.
As a practitioner, one needs to decide how long they will allow this behavior to go on.
And one can also ask a client what the symptoms mean to them in their life. How they
feel about having those symptoms. But that is even harder to get people to focus on unless
they are into the metaphysics of illness

Irene, I love your perspective here! I totally agree.

Shannon
