A couple of weeks ago my friend, Jean, was dismayed because her patients weren’t showing up in the Oriental medicine clinic where she is an intern.
I told her to be more confident in herself.
In the past she had some regular patients who loved her acupuncture treatments so much that they even gave her gifts.
So, it was somewhat humbling to Jean to not have her patients show up while all the other interns on her shift were getting patients.
I told her she shouldn’t take it personally, and she said that’s what her supervisor told her.
Then she learned the reason why one of her regular patients had not been coming. She had to go to Australia due to the unexpected death of her mother. So, that confirmed that it had nothing to do with Jean.
So then Jean gained confidence in herself and in her treatments.
But then it continued to happen…no patients for her on her shift. Jean was again starting to take it personally. My encouragement to tell herself that she was an excellent acupuncturist helped somewhat, but not completely.
Then Jean bought the book, ‘You Can Heal Your Life’ by Louise Hay. As Jean put into practice what she learned from Louise, she experienced positive changes…
