I always have so many thoughts and observations going in my practice, sustained quite magically by what appears in my treatment room. Sometimes at the end of the day I long to describe to someone the magic that unfolded, the things that took place that were so beyond my expectations or imagination, and then most of the time I end up not talking about it at all. Of course, there is the privacy of the patient to protect, but it is also difficult to capture what exactly happens, because there is so much that can happen! What I want to be able to describe, however, is the dialectic of the treatment’s intention with the patients’ own ability to change and go places. That relationship is extremely dynamic, and if the practitioner is willing to hold a space for the possibility of change that goes beyond the limits of our imagination or knowledge, there IS room for just that, and we witness what unfolds. It’s quite challenging to document and lately I have been wondering how to write about this. It’s one of the most important things for people to know. Soon I will be bringing a friend in to photo-document a series of treatments; I wonder what that will be able to reveal. For some years, I have kept a journal with patient information kept out, simply detailing what kind of healing takes place, the details (small or dramatic) that astound me. I’m not sure I’m capturing much but I am working with the desire to do so! We will see what comes of it.
