When good holistic care fails to heal, we need to look at the patient’s susceptibility and inner resourcing.

When someone has a stable base and what ails them is primarily related to bad living, they’ll easily feel better when you clean up the diet and add some targeted supplements. When we’re dealing with persistent diseases that don’t respond to a well-thought-out holistic plan, then we need to look at susceptibility. What makes you susceptible to this kind of weakness?

.

To understand susceptibility we need to look at your childhood and your family history, not just from the perspective of genetics. What are your learned ways of being in the face of adversity and unmet needs? How did you and do you cope with stress?

.

The patterns you learn in childhood have a large impact on your inner resourcing as an adult. People who were taught self-care and adaptability are more resilient and easier to direct back to health in the event of sickness. People with deficits in their inner matrix, most of which stem from trauma, are much slower to heal and harder to treat. In the harder cases, the support that’s needed goes way beyond the current symptoms to the entire mechanism of coping with life.

.

If you inner scaffolding is weak, it creates an environment where disease can grow unchecked by your own balancing mechanisms. So it follows that what needs to be strengthened is the underside of the entire picture of disease that you present.

.

The patients that come to see me are often discouraged. They have tried a succession of treatments but they feel stuck and don’t know what to do next. My practice is about uncovering the nature of each person’s susceptibility and using homeopathy and somatic psychotherapy to strengthen the person overall.

You have a remarkable capacity to find your way back to balance if you are stimulated in the right direction.
