There is a lot of greed in the healing business, a fair amount of secrecy as you would find in a competitive market place, a lack of ethics is commonplace in this market nitch also and unsubstantiated theories abound concerning how things work. None the less, there are things that work. In the same way that spiritual disciplines sometimes work or that schools of psychotherapy sometimes work, the methods of the healers also sometimes work. So one can see the glass as half empty or half full. I prefer the positive approach. Some things work and some things work better than others. I experiment with what works for me and my clients. I offer no guarantees and at the same time expect results or I stop using what will not work for me. I do not need to understand everything and believe no one fully understands the how and why of human change. Call it science or pseudo science (which includes psychotherapy or "Talk Therapy" ), we are still horribly lacking in understanding the human condition. But we are learning and that is a very good sign. For all these reasons I resist the temptation to become a "certified" practitioner of any school of thought. As a researcher I am free to test, and mix processes and invent new ones. And my clients name their price. That is the best feedback mechanism I know that says I have delivered value... that people actually pay me for what I do. Perhaps they do not pay me what I am worth, but that is a matter for their own conscience and besides I am doing what I love, for loves sake.
