Re:reiki/dissociation?

On the subject of training I want to point the "obvious". I mentioned that I am interested in reiki as a treatment for myself, and in doing the training.

That would mean, me, DDNOS, severely dissociative, with lots of baggage, in twice weekly, intensive psychotherapy, earning CE's in reiki/therapeutic touch. Just a caveat to anyone thinking that training means anyone is "sane" or automatically equipped to deal with other's difficulties... not how I would describe myself!

Which doesn't mean someday I might not be so equipped... but I'm not now... so my caution is not just concern for myself, but concern for anyone who would not see the "big picture" -- anyone (eg ME) can get training in reiki, just as any clinician can get training in emdr. Doesn't mean they know what they are doing or possess the qualities of compassion, wisdom and experience to use the techniques WELL and SAFELY.
