2. Describe the saying: "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself” (P.477) How does this apply to the health and wellness professional? Do you have an obligation to your clients to be developing your health psychologically, physically, and spiritually? Why or why not? How can you implement psychological and spiritual growth in your personal life?
This particular saying is something that I feel in my heart is absolutely true. This saying is basically saying something that all people have heard all of there lives. Its like how can I take advise from you on something that you have never experienced before in your own life. I think that a person is only as wise and knowledgeable of the things that the have personally experienced and went through in there lives, or with someone close to them. This saying applies to health and wellness professionals because they have to have seen a situation, witnessed a situation, to be able to assets, assist, and treat what ever that has been put before them. I think that we all have obligations to our patients and clients in any business or profession that we are in. We has health care professionals are obligated in making sure that if one mental status seemed to be fussy and causing harm to there physical and spiritual body to get them to the best place to help them get better over all. My personal life has started to make a turn for the better since taking the class as far as spiritual and psychological. I have learned to come more acceptable of myself which has helped with my psychological being and starting to try and live by the things I know spiritually.

Ulanda,
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. I do think we need to experience the things we are trying to teach our clients and patients. I am working in a dermatology clinic and I am the laser nurse. I do 6-10 lasers a day on different parts of the body and in order to know how my patients feel I had to experience myself. Now I had a bad reaction to the laser do to my medication, but it gave me a new found respect for it. I think it makes us better at what we do if we have experienced things first hand.
