:confused:
Hi everyone
Finally ive actually started studying towards what i want to do - being a therapist. Im doing a fast track ITEC course where we attend 4 days a month
However, I've just gone to start my practice on my first case study and i cant remember a thing! 🙁
I have the handouts but still a lot of it doesnt make sense to me... I'm not sure how im going to be able to do this if i cant remember the moves?
Any suggestions out there I am so worried about this?
🙁
Hi MJ
Does the school recommend a DVD?
Also if you can't remember, postpone the case study until the next series of lessons. Have you been given a case study submission final date? If so why worry?
Best Wishes

Hi Mary-Jane,
Reiki Pixie has a great idea!! There are lots of good DVDs that will help you along. Also have you considered mentoring with a more experienced therapist.
Your excitement and enthusiasm for moving forward may also be blocking your mind, so relax, take a deep breath and just let your hands go free. You'll be surprised what may happen.
All the best, Sue
Hi Mary-Jane
You're not alone! There are plenty of therapists who will tell you that their early case studies were a complete nightmare. I blanked regularly when I first started & my first volunteers had ITEC notes on the couch next to them!
My tutor had some great advice which echoes Sue C - if you forget what to do take a deep breath, relax & do a basic effleurage. Client is happy & gives you time to remember/decide what to do next.
It is nerve wracking and there's so much to remember when you first start but, with time & practice, you gradually learn the moves & develop your confidence.
Keep in touch & let us know how you get on.
