Your first appointment with a classical homeopath can feel like a very kind interrogation. Here is a translation guide.
“Do you prefer hot or cold?” What we hear: Are you the person wearing a sweater in July, or the one with the window open in January? Both are valid. Both are information.
“Do you crave anything?” What we hear: Please confess your midnight salt-and-vinegar situation. We will not judge. We will take notes.
“How are you in thunderstorms?” What we hear: Do you hide, hum, or happily stand at the window? Yes, this is a real question. Yes, it matters.
“Tell me about your dreams.” What we hear: Anything recurring? Chased by something? Falling? We are not analyzing you, just collecting clues.
“What time of day do you feel worst?” What we hear: Are you a 4 a.m. waker or a 4 p.m. crasher? Your clock tells a story.
“Is there anything else you’d like to add?” What we hear: This is the moment you say, “Oh, one more thing…” and it turns out to be the most important detail of the hour.
So if you ever think, “Why is she asking about my sleeping position?” rest assured. The odd little details are the whole point.
