What happens in the first homeopathy consultation?

In the first consultation the patient gets to express the symptoms that are troubling him or her. In the intake, the patient will experience being listened to in a profound way. Homeopathy is treating the patient as an individual who has had different life circumstances that have led up to their current state. The homeopath is looking for the individualizing and peculiar symptoms that characterize the patient differently than any other patient experiencing the same disease or state, mentally, emotionally, physically and through family inheritance.
