Default Practitioner burnout

Hi guys
have been working 11+ hours daily for a while with kids and adults with LD's, Autism and Aspergers and am about to fall in a heap.
Am seeing a TCM practitioner for herbs and acupuncture and not silly enough to prescribe for my self. Too tired to even think to repertorize anyway!
Asking for a bit of energy to be sent this way for a day or so.
I'm not going to give Sx or Hx on internet so don't even ask
Thanks

Hey Ozzie,
I'll send what I've got...
But maybe a little bit of KAli Phos 6X and MAg Phos 6X never hurt anyone.
Happy convalescence!

Thanks Leela,
I have had some Kali Phos, ( and my TCM herbs help) but just feel heavy of heart because I can't treat/help all of those who come through the doors and it seems so many at present and not enough hours in the week to do it all with family pressures as well.
It just seems like Aspergers and Autism is the new "ADD/ADHD". I know government funding has a lot to do with why the diagnosis is made and the help given as a result, but there seems to be SO many more kids and desperate parents about.

Maybe a self medicated dose of Causticum -bearing in mind that the physician that treats herself has a fool for a patient!

This is the second instance, I am listening to a practitioner asking for help from others.

(The first was Dr.Mas from Pakistan.)

I think, we know well about ourselves, and it must be easy to prescribe ourselves. Atleast , that is what I try to do.

Can somebody unravel this mystery?

Hi Ozzie,
Are you prescribing homeopathic remedies for these poor kids?

I have a friend in Mumbai who is a psychologist and has a very good business giving special teaching care to these children - once a week. there are so many children that she has about 8 assistants doing the exercises wtih them. HEr husband had to give up HIS business and take care of her administrative work, because it got so big.

Its tough if you're trying to do this all on your own. Why not set up a good and proper therapeutic centre like running a business? So you could have psychologists giving emotional support and behaviour training for mothers and kids in addition to remedy treatment.
Just a suggestion.

YEs CAusticum is a good thought!

All the best,
dr. leela

hi Murthy,
the mystery is to be able to be objective about ones emotional state and pick out characteristics when one is feeling really sick.

IF it is only physical symtpoms, it may get easier to pick out characteristics for a remedy.

Hi Dr Leela,

I'm working with mostly allopathically trained professionals in a clinic setting. No prescribing Homeopathics, although I gave our neurologist a copy of my research on remedies about a year ago as I was concerned that many of the clients present after having taken an excess of poorly prescribed/self prescribed remedies and that the other staff should be aware of symptomology.
Most of my colleagues are reluctant to admit that homeopathy can work for these clients, although a couple will ask me about remedies that their clients may be using.
Most of the clients I see have been through every available allopathic avenue and are looking for something that is completely drug free. The kids have been psych tested since the year dot and their self esteem is shot and family dynamics are often very strained and everyone is looking for that miracle.
I work with a motor-based program that remediates cerebellar deficits, no homeopathics at all, assessing and demonstrating exercise. The changes that I see in clients is often profound and very rewarding but the emotional energy invested in them comes at a cost. Also have been lecturing on this too, which is usually after hours, although today I told them I can't do this anymore.
I DO love what I do, but remaining "upbeat" - but sincere is difficult at present.
I have a holistic practice which I have run for several years(in my spare time ) from home. I teach people how to use remedies safely at home for personal use and teach Reiki & meditation.
I gave up my volunteer work with adults with acquired Brain Injury as I was exhausted and I have family (& self) to look after.

Dear Ozzie,
Cocculus is a remedy to consider for yourself as well.

IT must be overwhelming when so many people are struggling with ADD and ADHD. Its interesting to hear about the work you do.

My own sister struggled with her son - and she refused to get him onto ANY chemical medication. She took on the stress, prayed a lot, was supported by some school teachers - while others criticised and was supported by her husband.
Eventually her son has come out on top of his problem. He is much more well adjusted socially and intellectually and healthy - and she owes it all to her faith in God's willingness and ability to cure him.
I wish I had contributed to his cure with homeopathy, but they were too far away to help.

I think the best way to look at this problem is to focus on one person/child at a time, and helping each one in this focussed way as ones energy permits. I personally would need to be constantly in prayer ... but I'd still get exhausted and have to refuel and get enough sleep!

I"m sure diet control and other supportivce measures have their place. But I think a constitutional homeopathic remedy would go a long way in helping each of these people - are they open to trying homeopathy?
