Dear Patient, Sometimes a person will ask me how I protect myself doing this work—being surrounded by pain and sickness, practicing an energetic medicine. How do I not take on the suffering of my patients? It helps that I practice in a fast-paced setting. I don’t have time to linger too long with a single patient. I step into a patient’s energy field briefly, exchange a few words, place a few needles, then I step away and there’s someone else to treat.
