In the previous three articles, we have shown that there are different models of thinking and acting in working with the body. Some of them are based on a continuous process, others on the pursuit of a viable solution and closure.
This article is an attempt to raise a final, often overlooked question: what happens next when the process ends.
Because this is where responsibility begins.
In many approaches to working with the body, accountability is understood as constant monitoring, regular correction and constant “keeping an eye on the pulse.” This provides a sense of security, but at the same time perpetuates the belief that without external guidance, a person cannot manage on his own.
Meanwhile, responsibility can mean something else.
It can mean the moment when nothing needs to be done anymore, and a person gets the space to return to balance with his own mechanisms.
Effective outreach is not about keeping the client in the process.
It is about getting to the point where the process is no longer needed.
If, after the biological intervention, the organism stabilizes and the problem becomes irrelevant, further action is not evidence of concern, but often a lack of confidence in natural regulatory abilities.
Real help:
– not addictive
– doesn’t require constant returns
– doesn’t build a relationship based on fear of “unsettling”
The specialist, therapist or diagnostician has an important function at a certain stage.
He helps to understand what is happening in the body, provides direction and sometimes initiates intervention.
But his role is not to take responsibility for the entire functioning of another person’s body.
When the process is closed, the distribution of responsibility changes.
It ceases to rest on external tools and handlers, and an increasingly important role begins to be played by the body and the decisions of the person involved.
Closure of the process is sometimes underestimated and sometimes even perceived as a threat.
Meanwhile, it is one of the key elements of biological and mental health.
An organism that is constantly in correction mode has no space for stabilization.
A process that never ends ceases to be a process and becomes a state.
Closure does not mean failure or discontinuation of care.
It means that the intervention has served its purpose.
This text is not intended to judge any approach or environment.
It is only intended to show that different models of working with the body lead to different consequences.
Everyone has the right to choose:
– continuous process
– intervention with closure
– or something in between
It’s crucial to know what model we’re moving in and what its real effects are.
This article closes the series on different models of working with the human body.
From the distinction of process and solution, through the practice of diagnosis and intervention, to the moment when the process is closed and does not require further guidance from outside.
Not to prove anything.
In order to make an informed choice.
