Alongside doctors and psychology

Deciding

What does it mean for remote energy work if you are seeing a doctor, receiving psychological support or taking medication? For you, nothing changes there. You don’t have to give anything up, change anything or choose between the two.

Deciding · alongside doctors and psychology

What you have agreed with your doctor or your psychologist still applies. Remote energy work asks nothing of you that would stand in its way.

No exercises, no diet, no appointments. Rico Brunner sees his work as a complement on a different level.

Who is responsible for what

Many people have several kinds of support at the same time. Medicine is there for the body, psychology for the psyche, remote energy work for the energy field. Because Rico doesn’t send energy, in his experience his work doesn’t get in the way of other support.

“Exactly, they complement each other. As a rule it works on a level where others don’t work, because the system as a whole is strengthened.”

Rico Brunner

How the three levels are connected and where the boundary between them lies is on the page Body, psyche and energy field. Here it is about the practical question: what do you do?

If this happens, this is what you do

Where you turn first. In none of these situations does remote energy work come first, except for questions about it. The numbers apply in Switzerland; in Germany and Austria, you reach the emergency services on 112.

What stays as it is

Don’t break off any support and don’t stop any medication because you are doing remote energy work. You discuss changes with those who prescribed them. This applies even when you feel well. Whether medical or psychological support continues is something you decide with your doctor or your psychologist, not with Rico.

Stays with your doctor and psychologist

  • assessment and findings
  • medication, its dosage, stopping it
  • conversations, exercises and appointments there
  • the decision on how things continue there

Lies with remote energy work

  • the daily work on your energy field
  • at the pace your field sets
  • without you having to do or avoid anything
  • without sending energy

Do you have to tell anyone about it?

Whether you tell your doctor or your psychologist about remote energy work is up to you. You don’t have to explain to them how it works. You yourself don’t need to be able to follow it either for Rico to work.

Conversely, Rico doesn’t need anything from there. No findings and no reports. He finds your field through your order and reads it himself. He even considers personal impressions from a conversation a hindrance, because they disturb the neutral view of a field. What you experience describes the consequences, and in his experience their causes usually lie somewhere else.

Rico doesn’t draw conclusions about your field from your behavior. That is why, for his work, it also doesn’t matter whether you are currently receiving psychological support and what it is about.

As far as the body is concerned

In Rico’s experience, the energy field is generally not the cause of a physical illness. Field and body can affect each other, but a strong field does not make a sick body healthy. What lies in the body belongs to medicine.

“What a strong energy field can’t do is make sure that you don’t get sick, just as a strong energy field can’t make sure that you don’t get old.”

Rico Brunner

Rico also thinks little of assigning an invisible blame for an illness, whether to feelings or to the energy field. You are not to blame for an illness because you supposedly “felt something wrong”.

If you are receiving psychological support

For Rico, psychologists and psychiatrists are fully justified, especially when it comes to behavior. Remote energy work is not psychological support and doesn’t want to be. It doesn’t work with conversations or on your behavior, but on the field.

With some difficulties, it isn’t clear whether they lie in the psyche or in the energy field. Rico says openly that he hasn’t yet settled this distinction. For you, it only means: your support there stays as it is. More on this under Body, psyche and energy field.

The same rules in every situation

Someone in a difficult phase often has several kinds of support at once. Someone who wants to hold on to what they have achieved after such a time may still see a doctor regularly. And someone who wants to keep developing without anything weighing on them may have no other support at all. The rules on this page are the same for everyone, and a person can be in different situations in different areas of their life.

If you feel worse

If you have symptoms, you see a doctor first, regardless of remote energy work. After that, you get in touch with Rico. Feeling worse is not reinterpreted as progress; it is looked at. What else you can do is under When things get harder.

Questions that come up often

Can I use remote energy work alongside medical care?
Yes. Rico sees his work as a complement. What you have agreed with your doctor still applies.
And alongside psychological support?
That too. Remote energy work doesn’t work with conversations or on your behavior; it doesn’t get in the way of the support there.
May I leave out a medication because I am doing remote energy work?
No. You always discuss changes with those who prescribed it.
Do I have to send Rico findings or reports?
No. He doesn’t need any of that. He finds your field through your order.
Does remote energy work replace an assessment?
No. It is not a medical measure and does not replace an assessment by a doctor.
Does this also apply if I order for my child?
Yes. What the pediatrician or another specialist has agreed with you continues as before.

Where to go next

Where the boundary between body, psyche and energy field lies is explained in Body, psyche and energy field. What you do when you feel worse is under When things get harder. Is remote energy work right for you? helps you check whether it suits you.

Rico Brunner’s work is a complement to, not a substitute for, a medical or psychotherapeutic assessment, diagnosis or treatment. It is not medical treatment within the meaning of the Swiss Therapeutic Products Act; no therapeutic products are dispensed and no healing results are promised. Energyology is an experience-based model.
In acute danger: emergency number 144. Die Dargebotene Hand (helpline): 143, around the clock, free of charge. For children and young people: 147.
