Self-care integration of modalities...DAILY PRACTICE

CLINICAL ROTATIONS
our practitioners are trained to enter a situation empty of ideas and empty of found observations. it is a blank slate that is the foundation for keen listening and profound observations. before entering a patients room there is an entire protocol to follow to get proper information.

• what is the patients diagnosis
• when was the diagnosis made
• how long has the patient been in the hospital
• do nurses have any specific concerns about the patient
• who is there supporting the patient, staff, family, friends?

mental notes training (no pens!!!!!)

• does the patient have any visitors or a healthcare practitioner with them
• single or suite
• are there flowers or cards, caring?
• general environment of the room, temperature, lighting, smell, sounds?

questions to the patient

• are they asleep/ did they just eat?
• how is their breathing-short, ragged, held, smooth, easy
• what is their body position
• what color is their skin
• how coherent are they

DECIDE WHICH SYMPTOMS of PANICtm, their session will address through this rigorous data collection. (lol). The therapists constant observation and skillful listening lead the way. training oneself to be constantly centered, empty, and receptive is where each therapist's self-practice comes in to play.

therapists learn SEQUENCED, and LAYERED SPECIFIC COURSES OF ACTION to take with each healing art. It is common for a patient to have more than one symptom of PANIC, and a session might morph into a hybrid of practices, finding the intricate balance to a whole solution. It is when the USIT therapist learns to integrate the modalities together within a single session that the true potential of this integrative therapy is realized.
