One size fits all..would be great…and less expensive for sure. I guess we are all more complicated than that. We have our own, unique ways of interpreting the world…our own ways of healing…our own ways. Yay for diversity!

What a great metaphor of YES what all of us with health conditions experience –well intentioned practioners wanting the “one treatment”, fits all to work, so simple, easy and often is less expensive (like the one size fits all tees).

Glad you both liked the post~ I am thinking this concept is being used to try and figure out this economic issue…”one size fits all” ain’t gonna work! No way!

Thank you for this. I am definitely not a “one size fits all” kinda babe. As a friend of mine used to say (and I say very occasionally), I’m built for comfort, not speed. I’m very curvy and having fit in a one size fits all for years!

I had never thought to apply it to other areas of my life: healing (as you said), styles, attitudes, belief systems…absolutely everything!

It’s easy for me to be kind to someone who chooses to read romance novels. They aren’t the books I read and I actually dislike them but it’s OK for someone else to like them. It’s equally easy for me to accept that we there isn’t one faith that fits all of us. I can even accept people who like Starbucks (don’t tell anyone I hate it–I live just outside Seattle and I could be shunned for that particular belief). I just never thought about that concept as it revolves around my health and healing issues. I definitely will, now.

As always, thanks for your loving insight.

I really like this post.

I have been on the receiving end of this, but happily now that I’m a bit older, I’m a lot better at standing up for myself and making sure I get what I need.

I must also confess that when I first started my tutoring business, I did tend to treat my students this way, as in, “I am the expert, and I will tell you what you need, and bend you to my will, Mwa Ha Ha Ha Ha!”

But again, now that I’m a bit older and wiser, I’m much better about asking lots of questions, and helping my students get exactly what they need.
