Sometimes, the most important thing I can do as a practitioner is not carry out a treatment. 🤍
With my client’s consent, I wanted to share a situation where I made the decision not to go ahead with treatment because I could see that my client was struggling with her mental health.
For me, being a practitioner is about so much more than the treatment itself. It’s about looking at the person sitting in front of me, listening, noticing the little signs, and knowing when something doesn’t feel quite right.
We can become so focused on the procedure, the result and the appointment that it’s sometimes easy to look over the fact that there is a real person behind it all with their own emotions, struggles and circumstances.
I believe it’s my responsibility to put the person before the procedure, always.
Sometimes being there, having a conversation, listening without judgement and simply showing someone that you care is more important than any treatment I could provide. 🫶🏼
