Vital Health Partners - FAQ -A service for those with a life altering health diagnosis

You're facing an illness. Our support isn't about overcoming childhood psychological blocks or deep-seated family dynamics. This support is focused on living from now into the future. It's about creating and sustaining community, and it includes the vitally important domain of body learning.

You'll be in the driver's seat here. We will do nothing without your direction. The scope of our work will be dependent on who makes up the group or groups of people that surround you, their ages, the level of support they need - and what's in place already. Our work will be guided and determined by the current strength of these relationships

What kind of changes can I expect?

You can expect to become a different observer of your present life situation, and to have different actions and emotions available to you. If you do the practices we suggest for you, then you'll be able to:

Acknowledge your fears as you ride the waves of emotions
Make sound choices based on trusting your wisdom and intuition
Communicate honestly with your family, friends, colleagues and health care professionals to create powerful support communities
Use your energy to nurture and sustain what matters most to you in every dimension of your life.

You say you work with the whole self - what does that mean?

We work with every aspect of yourself that makes you "you". This includes the way you think and speak about the world, how you assess what's happened to you, the emotions and moods that result and the way you move through life.

It also includes the individuals and groups that surround you, because you become whole as you interact with others, rather than in isolation.

Phone versus face-to-face.

One isn't a substitute for the other. We strongly feel that it's important for us to meet you in person at the beginning of the program. However, we also find that phone conversations help us to stay current with events as they unfold. And, from our experience, phone sessions are helpful and productive, and can be as valuable as face-to-face.

How will I know when I'm finished?

Part of our work together involves showing you how to get in touch with your decision-making abilities, your intuition and your body sensations. This awareness will give you the guidance you need to know when you are finished. On the other hand, we hope that the work we do together will never be over! We intend that this program will give you the tools to continue your own learning without us.

Why would I hire you at this time?

One reason is to have a place where you can be totally yourself, where you can say anything and be completely authentic.

Another reason is to be cared for without worrying about boundaries, or other peoples' concerns: to have someone with whom you have no history - no baggage. We are objective and help shore you up without telling you everything's going to be OK. We meet you right where you are, without expectations or demands.

A third reason is to have a sounding board for the mountains of information coming your way, and to benefit from the experience of someone who knows this territory.

Yet another reason is to stay connected to life and to those who are dear to you, at a time when you may feel that the things you've counted on are slipping away. We support you at this time, and act as traveling companions who have your best interest at heart at all times.
