What it is

Radionics, as its organisation describes it. The Radionic Association calls radionics "a method of energy based distant healing". Practitioners hold that "all life is made up of vital and subtle energies" that can be disturbed by trauma, shock and environmental or emotional stress, and they aim,…

Format

• Radionics: the client chooses a practitioner directly (distance is said to be "no barrier"), completes a confidential case-history form, sends "a small snippet of hair" as a witness, and agrees fees individually; there is no fixed fee scale. The Association says radionics "may be used alongside…
• The therapist's framework (alongside). There are no published psychotherapy protocols for work alongside radionics or TimeWaver; the structure below is the therapist's own. It is woven into ordinary therapy rather than delivered as a separate course; most clients need one focused conversation and…

Who practises it, and how they are trained or regulated

• Training of practitioners: introductory dowsing and radionics courses, a three-year part-time diploma (humans; soil and crops) with a personal tutor and periodic study weekends, and postgraduate animal courses.
• TimeWaver: a professional user runs a software-based analysis of the client's "Information Field" and may apply "harmonisation", sometimes with frequency or microcurrent output; training is offered through the TimeWaver Online Academy and associated institutes founded by Schmieke. Details of what clients physically experience in a session are not set out in the company's published descriptions.
• Phase E – Review and reporting. Goal: revisit decisions, address health anxiety or somatic focus (Domain II), and use reporting routes where advertising, device or practitioner conduct crosses regulatory lines.

Questions to explore with your client

• What drew you to it, and what are you hoping it will change?
• Is there physical contact? Was it explained beforehand, and do you feel free to say no or stop at any point?
• Does it involve any substance, plant preparation, remedy or supplement? Has your doctor or prescriber been told, especially about any medication you take?
• Does it involve fasting, a special diet or 'detox'? Have you discussed this with your doctor?
• Is it a group, retreat or community? How do they respond if someone wants to leave or raises a concern?
• Who runs it, and what training or registration do they hold?
• What actually happens in a session or meeting, and how often?
• What does it cost, and is there pressure to commit to more?
• How do you feel afterwards, in the hours and days that follow?
• Does it fit with, or clash with, the work we do here?

What practitioners of it watch for

• the client fearing conflict with the practitioner or group. Working when concerns reach the body able to act.
• drift from "alongside" to "instead of" over time. Working when reviews show stable medical engagement and informed choices.
• the client experiencing refusal as rejection (repair, 5.4). Working when the client accepts the boundary and continues to share openly.
• substitution of one form of checking for another; reports introducing new feared conditions. Working when worry and checking frequency fall and functioning improves.
• symptoms during or after sessions; the client being told a device is "just information" and so cannot cause harm. Working when the client has checked with the relevant clinician.

Problems the guide addresses

• Client will not discuss it ("you'll just tell me it's nonsense")
• Stuck: the client relies on readings for every decision
• Resistance when you raise medical concern
• Ruptures
• Overwhelm and fear after a frightening reading
• Non-adherence to medical care or to agreed plans
• Family conflict
• Grief, regret and serious illness
• Financial loss or feeling exploited
• Therapist's own position

When to involve someone else

• New or worsening physical symptoms, or advice to stop or change prescribed medication: involve the client's doctor or prescriber.
• Signs of coercion, isolation from family and friends, escalating costs or secrecy: discuss openly and consider safeguarding.
• A crisis or thoughts of suicide: follow your crisis protocol. In the US, call or text 988; in the UK and Ireland, Samaritans on 116 123.
