In partnership

Reflecting upon prior posts it bacame clear that I also worked through a lot of letting go.

I experience the course insightful and exciting. Overall some of the principles I've already implemented in my own practice. Firstly business practice helped me to determine a proper time frame for manufacturing of a back brace.  Research is creating a sense of continuous improvement.

Pharmacology helps a lot in reading and understanding medication, above all the awareness of patient’s receiving different types of medication for various conditions.

After the Psychology assignment regarding Afrocentism and Ethnocentism I encountered a few of my Moslem patients and had a reference point for a good conversation. It became clear that they respected me for asking them permission to treat them and others even referred some of their family members after the encounter.

I realised that working through my own set of values the these things can change and be adopted towards the different situations that I so often find myself in - one of my greatest values is Support.

Therapists should realize that support does not end once the consultation is over. Eventually, professional; treatment will come to an end. Sometimes, because of costs or other influences, the treatment ends before it should. It is especially here were I've found that I, as part of a Christian community play a important role. I've referred people to different practitioners and community support groups and it was these referrals that showed a little more support and at the end assisted the individual to make it through a difficult time.

Through this journey I also hope to build a certain deeper understanding of helping.
