Shaun Sutton therapies

Difficult to logically explain and comprehend why or how it works - it's actually impossible and necessary to understand as one is observing natural phenomena in action

Follows a more traditional medical model for health that is difficult to facilitate the acknowledgement of mainstream medicine - this means it is completely impossible to comprehend the treatment using modern medical knowledge

The patient needs to some degree be engaged within the treatment process - it is  not hard work, just more a case of reporting any feedback.

Effects are not permanent and may only be mild and last a short period of time to begin with during the treatment process - the effects will become more pronounced and longer lasting as the treatment process progresses

The patient's perceptions will change as a result of treatment which can take a few treatments to get used to, as well as for others to get used to a patients new outlook - how one responds to others and to various stimuli will become more appropriate for any given situation, but is non the less something new to get used to.

Patients need to appreciate that health symptoms are often not be directly treated, which may feel disconcerting or that the therapy is therapy - it is important to observe the overall affect of the treatment rather than to be focused upon how particular symptoms are as they may not improve immediately

A good proportion of the therapy time is dedicated to observing and monitoring patient responses rather than direct treatment - this is no different to looking at a map to plan a journey or checking road signs to make sure one is on the right route.
