Touching Base with Trauma - Elizabeth Adalian MCH

Why do we express personal patterns that persist and characterise us throughout our lives? What impact do early influences have on the disease and suffering that we become susceptible to and seem unable to escape in our individual life journeys? How can homeopathy help to resolve cases that seem to be stuck in, or repeat, certain self-defeating patterns? Insights into these questions and many others are shared by the author, Elizabeth Adalian, in the recognition that the underpinning of a case is often not sufficiently understood to unlock the patient from the dominant patterns of disease. Therefore, the importance of early life occurrences in moulding the brain structures is extensively explored in this text as well as the traumatic experiences of previous generations that have been passed down through the ancestral line. The author conveys this approach to healing to a wider audience in order to place homeopathic treatment on the map to address trauma, in addition to describing how it can be adapted retrospectively. This book will be of interest to complementary therapists and homeopaths alike as well as individuals interested in exploring and healing their own life trauma. Based on research in related fields such as anthropology, epigenetics, literature, neuroscience, philosophy and psychotherapy, the findings are substantiated way beyond the homeopathic lens. In this process, cutting-edge ideas are incorporated in line with current thinking to support healing at core level for the types of disease conditions presenting today in practice.

Elizabeth Adalian has been a practising homeopath for over thirty years. During the course of that time, she worked in the former Yugoslavia after the recent war. This experience demonstrated to her that it was not so much the exposure to war that affected individual members of the population but more what they brought to it from their early formative years. On returning to the United Kingdom, after extending her practice to countries including Cyprus, Ethiopia, the Middle East and North Africa, Elizabeth applied this concept to her patients' cases with notably transformative results in their health. She has established a reputation for a deep knowledge of Materia Medica with the lesser known remedies which she sets out to highlight in the context of this work. Numerous articles on homeopathy have been written by her - many in the field of trauma. Elizabeth has also taught extensively across the United Kingdom and abroad.
