      Energetic Protection - David Corby

      INTRODUCTION

      The Challenges faced by the modern practitioner

      Health practitioners can have wonderfully rewarding careers. Many, however, find themselves depleted and stressed as their workload rises. Eventually this can lead to their feeling de-motivated, stale or even lead to them getting sick themselves.

      It is possible to work a full clinic day and feel revitalised and energetic. I usually feel more energetic at the end of an 8 hour clinic day than I do at the beginning. This was not always the case. I will share with you the secrets I have learnt to getting the most out of working in clinic.

      I aim to equip you, the practitioner with the tools to enjoy your clinic work, avoiding energy drain and other pitfalls common to the helping professions.

      Practitioners that feel drained sometimes talk about the need for better boundaries or emotional or energetic protection from specific clients. This book provides the practitioner with a different approach where they use their experiences in clinic to learn about themself and in the process improve not just their life but also transform their clinic experience.

      The book is set out in three parts. In Part 1 we discuss the causes of energy drain, the link between work and self image and the dangers of the ‘wounded healer’. In Part 2 strategies and solutions for these issues are discussed, and practical exercises for transforming and enriching your clinic experience are provided in Part 3.

      PART I

      Understanding Energy Drain

      CHAPTER 1

      Defining Energy Drain

      Energy drain refers to feeling tired and depleted after working in clinic. It sometimes occurs with the feeling that you have taken on some of your client’s issues or stress.

      Many people find certain clients or people ‘draining’. They may feel drained of energy or emotionally drained. Understanding what makes them draining is the first issue we must address.

      How much difference do other people and our environment make to our energy? Most people have had the experience of walking into a party that had a good ‘vibe’ and feeling lifted by the experience. Equally it is possible to feel a negative ‘vibe’ from a group of people or specific person. How much effect this energy has on how a person feels depends on their own internal state and how they approach that situation. When approached in the right way our energy need not be determined by other people.

      In a normal healthy individual the following equation describes their level of energy:

      Energy in from food + Energy in from air

      +

      Constitutional strength (underlying vitality)

      =

      Available energy

      We take in energy from food, water and air. This is processed by the lungs and digestive system and converted to energy. Our energy is also influenced by our constitutional strength or underlying vitality. When we have poor underlying vitality it can be difficult for the digestive system to work and for us to convert food to energy.

      Energy left over at the end of each day is a function of:

      Available energy

      –

      Physical activity

      –

      Mental activity

      =

      Energy left at end of day

      The key to having good energy is to use no more energy during the day than we extract from food and air. The more intensive we exercise our body or mind the more likely we are to deplete the body of energy. So walking is less likely to be depleting than marathon running for example. That is why studies generally show walking to be good for the health, and marathon runners generally have been shown to have a shorter life span.

      In clinic the physical activity aspect is usually quite predictable and depends on the type of modality practiced. It is the mental activity that is the key swing factor. When practitioners find that some days they are more drained or that certain clients are particularly draining, it is the mental activity that has created this extra drain on the practitioner.

      Why does mental activity vary from client to client or day to day? The process followed is usually fairly similar however it is the stress of the work that is the key swing factor. Energy drain comes mainly from the psychological stress of doing clinic rather than the mental activity involved.

      For example, I remember when I was in my first year of clinic a 12 year old client walked in with his family of two siblings and both parents. The child had been involved in a car accident, his spine had stretched and as a result was paraplegic. Having my own children I was able to sympathise and my heart went out to the boy and the parents. This personal interest in the case inhibited my ability to help the client. I found it increased the mental stress of helping the child. The result was a session that was one of the most draining that I have ever had.

      This is a good example of how psychological stress can make a big difference in how draining a session can be.

      CHAPTER 2

      What Causes Energy Drain?

      If you find other people draining it means that your energy will go up and down depending on who you associate or work with. It is easy in this situation to blame others for how you are feeling. If you always feel depleted after working in clinic for 6 hours or after seeing particular clients, it is logical to feel that the clinic or the specific client is responsible.

      Examples of this at play are people making comments like:

      •

      My husband has been really unhappy these last four months and is so draining to be around. I feel like he sucks the energy out of me.

      •

      I really want to help …… (client), but I find it so draining working on him.

      Are these perceptions true?

      I want you to do a little thought experiment with me. I want you to think of a situation where you felt like you were made to do something you did not want to do. For example, your mother may have made you clean the dishes or clean your room as a child. How did that feel? Most people can remember feeling really depleted doing things they did not want to do.

      Have there been other times in your life when you chose to clean your room or do the dishes of your own free will? How did you feel then? The same activity, eg, doing the dishes, may not have any effect on your energy. When you choose freely to do something you may even feel better after having done it.

      The same is true of clinic. It can build energy or deplete energy.

      Choice and motivation are the key factors determining whether your energy improves or declines. How do you feel when you wake up on a morning that you have something to do that you have been
