Feeling your patients' pain!

Anybody else out there having an issue of taking on your patients' issues, in particular their pain?
Recently, this has been happening more frequently to me! I'll be working with a patient and within a few minutes I seem to be having the same pain they are experiencing. At first it was somewhat helpful in that I kind of knew what needed to be done to get rid of the pain. However, it is now becoming quite bothersome as I'm unable to treat myself during the day and am carrying all this extra junk home with me.
Any suggestions on how to turn this off or limit its effect?

I would like to say this could only happen to you, or I am not surprised this happened to you, but this can be a common (thankfully not too common)occurrence.
I have heard it explained something like this - if you place a guitar in one corner of the room, and another guitar in the other corner and strum the C cord on the one, the other one will also vibrate at that frequency. I know - it sounds incredibly strange, but - apparently this type of stuff is documented and even researched.
Given this concept - I have heard about the "transferring" of symptoms simply by getting into the same vibration of the person - in fact I have heard it in reverse that a patient goes to a practitioner and picks up the pain or eye problem of the one who is working on them.
Yeah, yeah I know some of you have stopped reading by now or are still reading by now wondering what other woo-woo stuff is going to come out of this post. Again - so much of what I get to experience is from those people I meet when presenting seminars. And if I stay open to what people are sharing I begin to see patterns, or hear about research or situations that have commonalities to them. What you are talking about I have heard happening to several therapists.
Some will say that those who are more empathic will pick up more of this type of frequency in others. Some are better at "feeling" what others are also feeling. However, when you can't shake it off, it sure does get distracting for your own body.
I have a friend who would simply say when she "caught" someone elses issue - "thank you for showing me what I needed to see, I am ready to release it back to You and the Universe. Thank you!" and she would take a deep breath and release it. In a minute or two she reported it would be gone.
Others have shared other types of things they say to get rid of lingering patient issues. The bottom line is they "gave it back" for lack of a better phrase.
This type of stuff would happen to me on occasion and still can from time to time, and I just recognize it, realize I didn't have it before they came in, it isn't a usual presentation of issue that I typically walk around with, and so I simply take a minute to myself, or I call my wife and talk to her for a moment to tell her what is going on, and after that it just seems to dissipate.
So - take a moment or two to say a prayer, affirmation, mention it to someone or whatever helps to "give it back."
Anyone else out there experience this stuff too? How do you experience it? Have you learned how to get rid of it?
Hope that helps.
Tom

Hi Mickey,
You can certainly take on others symptoms. Some people are more susceptible than others at attracting this unwanted event. I have to work on this myself. People interact with each other through a unseen energetic level by way of our magnetic energy field. I can hear some of you laughing and tightening the straps on my white coat. However those of you that have practiced hands on energy work ( Reiki, Chi Kung) know that you must protect yourself.
Some ideas besides the good ones Tom listed could be visualizing your body surrounded in white or violet light before you work on the person. Aterwards make a slicing motion down the front of your body to break any energetic ties you have to the person you are working on. A salt water bath at night also helps to clean your energy body as well. More info is available online about this issue also.
Hope that helps,
Got to go, the nurse is here with my meds.

Tom...I like the analogy of the guitar thing. Perhaps if I heard that years ago I might have bought into the "energy" thing...of course after a few beers and Brazilian all you can eat I guess I "became" or "recognized" or was told I was an "energy" guy...Everyone else: You just had to be there!
Any way in light of some recent research regarding mirror neurons I could see this as happening. I'm still trying to find the "right" patient to try having them watch me do the Fab 5 or the Tremendous 2 (arm raises and rotations) to see if they get a response.

i was getting some weird stuff for awhile and one of my friends told me i was taking on pts pain-she mentioned something like 'zipping up' an outer layer of protection, but i didnt wanta block myself from the pt, so i just figured i'd feel it, know it wasnt me and it just seems to go away...you can try 'letting it just pass thru ya' too, ive used that thinking and that seems nice

Hey Bill,
I hate doing seated leg raise. If you could do your left leg for me I would be forever in your debt. Ha

The title makes me want to love and hate this Gucci Store at the same time. It calls to mind Alexander McCall Smith's novel titled, "The Unbearable Lightness of Scones." I might not have thought to link Aimee Bender's new book with "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera had it not been for Smith's Scones nike dunk sb. That said, I would rather take a lemon from Aimee Bender over the lightest fluff from nike shox shoes and cheap air max McCall Smith. I don't know if this was a Michael Jordan Shoes and Cheap Jordans I would pick out myself in the store but I received it as my first Indiespensible uggs and ugg boots order. It was as wonderful book with humor, sadness, and a glimpse into the life of the Main Nike Air Jordan and her family. I love the easy flow of the Coach Purses and the ease with which I could identify with more than one of the Air Jordan Shoes. Definitely couldn't put the book down and have already recommended it to several MBT Shoes Sale.
