<\/p>\nWhat makes an Uncommon Practitioner? We’re a pretty diverse bunch.<\/p>\n
It’s certainly not our country of origin, race, religion or age that unites us. Nor are we united by a school of psychotherapy or approach to treatment.<\/p>\n
There are people from all kinds of different professions in this community; from counselors to life coaches to nurses to hypnotherapists.<\/p>\n
We share tips and techniques and we don’t judge another’s approach – unless we are genuinely concerned it isn’t effective or will harm a client.<\/p>\n
We are deeply concerned about the millions of people suffering in this world.<\/p>\n
We’d prefer to see people in need (and doesn’t that mean all of us at one time or another?) get access to professionals who can properly help them.<\/p>\n
Sometimes we think that traditional societies have a better way of healing than we do, for all our amazing medical advances.<\/p>\n
When a person suffering visited the ‘wise woman’ or ‘elders’ of the village for help.<\/p>\n
When Big Pharma didn’t control our health systems.\u00a0When people with mental illnesses were not electrocuted, drugged heavily, locked away.<\/p>\n
We’d prefer to see\u00a0the person first and the ‘condition’ second and not the other way around. We want\u00a0people to be treated with respect and compassion, and through\u00a0their therapy be given real tools to help themselves live happier and easier lives.<\/p>\n
