[post_content] => Selina Hatherley shared her experience of working at a voluntary homeopathy clinic in the weeks and months after the fire at Grenfell Tower with an audience at the Society's Mental Health Symposium in London (November 17).
Recalling the early days of homeopaths providing homeopathic help out in the streets, to working in a local community centre and alongside an after school group, Selina explained how their prescribing had moved from treating a genus epidemics of grief and shock, to more individualised prescribing.
Working with a team of homeopaths from different training backgrounds, it was a great strength that they were able to pool their experiences, rather than work in opposition, she added.
The symposium at Resource for London was aimed at promoting the use of homeopathy in the treatment of mental health issues.
Sharing her experience of working in a team of complementary healthcare professionals in different settings, Rix Pyke said that having a skilled fundraiser on board had enabled them to raise £98,000 for a three-year project working on a psychiatric intensive care ward.
Providing complementary therapies, healthy food and access to water and fresh air, they focused on improving the health of not just the patients, but also the staff and the success of the project led to them working on two further wards.
Bob Blair presented a case of Mandragora, which he used with a female patient with extreme panic attacks, showing how focusing in on the sensation of the case, alongside repertorising and studying the materia medica, took him to this remedy.
In her talk on safeguarding, psychotherapist Nicola Vanlint gave advice on how to safeguard, when to refer, the importance of a contract between client and practitioner to establish clear boundaries plus the importance of understanding what your own triggers might be. She also gave useful emergency contact details that can be given to clients, so that they are aware of support available to access between appointments.
The final talk by Tessa Jordan looked at the importance of Bach Flower remedies in relation to patient’s emotional symptoms. Bach believed that in balancing our emotions, we allow our body to heal physically. Tessa highlighted that Bach Flower remedies can increase our scope of working with patients, as with just 38 individual remedies, 293m different therapeutic mixes can be made!
The day ended with questions from the audience for the panel of speakers.
