Living Well with Chronic Pain
Being a health care practitioner is wonderful, and it is not easy. It is, in my opinion, a calling. Most of the people I know who are long time, committed health care practitioners, got into the work through their own health problems. They were sick or in some kind of major pain or distress that did not resolve easily and began seeking healing and answers for their own health issues.
Eventually they found some healing and relief and along the way, they found a calling to become a health care practitioner themselves.
Most of us, who got into the work in this way, continue along this path and continue our own healing and self exploration.
