Idenics Offering Alternative Therapy With Healthy Smiles

People often ask whether Idenics is therapy such as coaching. Idenics is not therapy or an alternative therapy like coaching. One thing that therapy and therapy such as coaching have in common is that in some way the practitioners of these methods are trying to analyze or figure a person out. As an Idenics practitioner this is NOT something that I do. People are unique and different, and they look at life from different viewpoints and respond to upsets, traumas and confusions differently. Actually, it would be almost impossible to figure someone out. With six billion people on this planet, all of them different, a practitioner of therapy like coaching would have better odds winning the lottery twice in a row or finding a needle in ten thousand haystacks than to figure a person out.
As an Idenics practitioner all that I am doing is getting the person to look. My entire job is to get a person to look, and keep their nose in what they are looking at until they have fully inspected what is there. That's all that I do. I didn't live their life or have their experience; so how would I know. A person suffering from, let's say, depression goes to someone practicing alternative therapy such as coaching. What does the practitioner of that therapy such as coaching do? Based on the practitioner's training and experience in that alternative therapy such as coaching, the practitioner will ask questions and give advice regarding the person's depression, in an effort to bring that person to some understanding already determined by the practitioner of that therapy such as coaching.
But this person's depression is not like someone else's depression. How that person's depression is for them, how that person's depression affects their life, where that person's depression originated is different. The word depression is only a word. But a word is only a symbol, and is not the thing itself. Instead of the word depression, let's look at the word "cat." The word is only something that we use to communicate about something real. A cat is that furry creature that runs around your house looking cute. The word "cat" is only a symbol. The practitioner of that therapy like coaching is basing everything he/she is doing on a word - a symbol.
What if instead of depression, the person said to the alternative therapy like coaching practitioner that he had a condition he calls the "wobbles." The practitioner of that therapy such as coaching wouldn't know what to do. That practitioner of that alternative therapy such as coaching would have to get the person to explain what was meant by the wobbles. But unlike a condition on depression; what if the person couldn't explain it? Where would the practitioner of alternative therapy such as coaching go from there?
