FEATURE TOPIC:
Journeys: Healing Paths and Paths of Healers
It’s a fact of life: We spend all of our living moments on journeys of smiles and sorrows, triumphs and pitfalls, health and dis-ease. Often health journeys test caregivers and their patients in memorable ways. What have the challenges been? The outcomes? The unexpected blessings?
Patients are sometimes challenged to find the most effective “healing path.” Often patients need different approaches—singular paths—even for the same ailments, which sometimes translates into especially difficult journeys, from one practitioner to another.
These variations on journeys of healing and self-discovery speak to the mission of Health&Healing—which exists primarily to help its readers find their most effective path to healing.
Our goal in this issue is to further explore the patient-provider relationship: both the healing journeys of patients and the professional journeys of healers—journeys that are often entwined.
Area health care providers will share the remarkable healing journeys of some of their patients, as well as insights about their own professional paths: what was the nature of their calling, in terms of personal circumstances, strong motivations, and leadings from one or a number of sources? How did the experience of becoming “a health care professional” differ from expectations? Frustrating at times? Often inspirational? Still unfolding?
OTHER VOICES, OTHER CHOICES ARTICLES
A special section of the publication—Other Voices, Other Choices—provides a forum for area practitioners to submit articles related to the feature topic. In this section, we invite health care/health service providers who have a special connection to the feature topic to write articles about their work.
It could be said that all health care providers have a “special relationship” to the feature topic of this issue, for each healer’s professional path is a unique story. In this issue of Health&Healing we invite area practitioners to share those stories: the “how” and “why” they chose their paths. And we would especially like to hear from those whose experiences have led them to create unusual or non-traditional healing practices.
If you wish to be part of the conversation, see information about the Other Voices, Other Choices section in Advertising in Health&Healing, and contact us at 919-967-6802.
