		<description>I completely agree with what you say regarding victim mentality and believe that the healing of a person comes with self responsibility. I wrote about it here from a homeopathic perspective

http://www.thehomeopathiccoach.com/g/30489/are-you-a-good-homeopathic-patient.html

Once the patient has given themselves up to psycotropic drugs, the dependency on the drugs for their improvement (which is often not forthcoming) , means it is even harder fro them to feel empowered around their own health issue.
At the same time, it&#039;s really diificult for a patient suffering mental health issue to feel anything but &#039;disabled&#039; due to the lack of information available around alternative options like EFt and Homeopathy.
Great post Rod. Thanks for sharing :)

		<description>Hi Rod,
Another great post. To me the only value of knowing what the medical classification is of a problem is then for that information to help toward a solution. 
Too often this isn&#039;t the case. Many people I know of have been given a diagnosis and then asked &quot;so what now?&quot; Often the answer is nothing, nothing can be done from a conventional medicine point of view.

I know of a mother who was asked to bring her child in for further tests to diagnose what the true cause of his problems were. The mother asked, &quot;so how will that help my son?&quot; The doctor said it wouldn&#039;t but that they (the medical services) would have a label to put on the problem. She refused to let the doctors label him and instead sought a solution herself.

I also totally agree that for some having a diagnosis can lead to the person just staying put with their problem and not seeking any further solution. Some however as you say, refuse to take the diagnosis. 

I had a client who was diagnosed with GAD and told that it would be there for the rest of her life and she should just get used to it. We worked on it about a week after the diagnosis and in one EFT session she had improved so dramatically that the GAD symptoms had gone. If she had have accepted the doctors diagnosis, her issues would have indeed been there for life. There are so many EFT stories like this out there.

I do think that we need to take responsibility for our own health, as you say.

All the best,
Tania</description>
