Trauma, Distress and Homoeopathy The Homoeopathic approach would be that All dysfunctions ultimately stem

Trauma, Distress and Homoeopathy The Homoeopathic approach would be that All dysfunctions ultimately stem from being traumatized and neither being able to process that trauma at the time nor later.

Aims of this workshop • to explain why an appreciation of the disease process

Aims of this workshop • to explain why an appreciation of the disease process is important to understanding the Homoeopathic approach to trauma and distress. • • • A traumatic incident can trigger changes resulting in a degeneration, of health. • To present a few remedies that can be used in an Acute situation 1. To help reduce the impact of the trauma, and, 2. In reducing the impact it is possible to reduce the possibility of awakening the more serious and destructive Because of the inherent predispositions, genetics, and life experience we each respond differently to the same trigger. inherent or acquired miasmatic taint.

The Three stages of illness • What is perceived as the problem to be

The Three stages of illness • What is perceived as the problem to be treated is generally the Tertiary expression of health, the abnormal growth, the abnormal thoughts and or behaviours. • • There are two preceding phases. The first, the initial trauma/ infection. When there is usually a physical or emotional reaction, a rash or a discharge/diarrhoea, vomit. an Acute. • If this then festers away within the organism, like a virus, until something erupts onto the surface, i. e. eczema, a mole, a wart, an unusual discharge. the secondary phase. • When this is ‘treated locally or removed’, the activity beneath the surface continues and will find a new way to be expressed, which if repeatedly ‘treated’ will lead to the third stage, the abnormal structure which may be manifest anywhere in the body or thoughts and or behaviours.

A traumatic event • • • Female, 40 yrs. Referral after another suicide attempt…. overdose. Case… ME for 10 yrs, bed ridden for last 4. Can only go out in wheel chair. Numerous attempts to end life. Was professional dancer with international group. Initial case/story. 10 yrs earlier, Male partner had been controlling and abusive. Eventually he told her “you will go to the devil. ”. Same phrase had been hurled at her before by 2 other men, but this was the last straw. • Over about 6 weeks of visiting, listening/talking and remedies, the story unfolded. • • • At the age of 5 yrs, one Monday at school, the teacher had asked who had not been to mass. Believing it was a sin to tell a lie, she put her hand up and confessed. The teacher made her stand on a chair in front of the class, and scolded her and said “you will go to the devil!” The child was mortified and confused. Why be punished for telling the truth? The family had only one pair of smart shoes, so a sister had gone to mass that weekend. She could not tell anyone, let alone her parents. . Naturally the parents were devastated by this revelation 35 yrs later. Several weeks later she walked into town to meet me for a coffee before I left the area. • Last I heard she was doing well. . . 10 yrs ago. •

Trauma, Subtle or Gross? Peter Chappell • Gross…overwhelming and sudden traumas. • Subtle… from conception on…Can be inflicted by parents with their own trauma and now it reflects that upon their children…or it can be that their own parents treated them that way. This can go back generations…. . The subtle traumas create the unconscious responses …produce the physical postures/gestures and beliefs…. that they are unlovable etc Subtle traumas develop Insidiously. . • • • NBWS

Subtle trauma in the apparently normal healthy individual • Fatigue, mental or physical. •

Subtle trauma in the apparently normal healthy individual • Fatigue, mental or physical. • Stress in workplace, loss of job, financial insecurity etc • Growing up in a distressed family. Looking after a sick or aged relative. • Stress in school. • Diet, hygiene, poor living conditions, climate. • A simple ‘error, ’ such as getting cold and wet, excess alcohol, an ice cold drink, sunburn, excessive joy etc can then trigger the silent undercurrents.

Didier Grandgeorge • “In the beginning was the word…and the word was made flesh” • “…in the beginning there are words, and these words are transmuted into physical illness. When words remain unspoken, they are suppressed into the unconscious and can act like a curse affecting several generations, as they get handed down from parent to child. ” • Serge Herge, Tintin, Captain Haddock. • The reverse is also true…a physical pain, and unidentified tension etc can also lead to a change in the mental and emotional behaviours.

Louis Detinis • Every pathological symptom is a normal physiological process taken to its extreme; • • • Pain provides us with a warning that we need to give attention to some bodily dysfunction; • Oedema is an increased production of intercellular liquid; • Fever is an exaggerated response of the normal mechanism for temperature control; • Gangrene and decaying tissue, skin eruptions, perspiration, catarrhs and diarrhoeas are all the release of waste products from normal metabolic processes; • • Hypertrophy is the body’s response to over use of an organ; A tumour is the result of over production of cells; Inflammation and suppuration are the extreme manifestations of normal leucocyte function; • mental illness is the workings of the defence mechanism which tries to make sense of the childhood conflict between the primitive impulses and repressive education. “As we live so we become cured. ”

Ian Watson’s Very modern thought provoking Perspective • “…That we participate in the creation of the problem, rather than holding to the victim position. . That something out there is doing it to us. . ” • “Each miasm is a neutral energetic influence and we should look at them as giving opportunities rather than enemies. If there are negative sides there should be positive sides of the miasms. ” • “to see the miasm as an influence you can work with, learn from and be transformed by, rather than something that is attacking you that has to be driven out. ” • The Homoeopathic Miasms. .

Sycosis. . JH Allen. The Chronic Miasms. 1900. • “…Sycosis may be said to be the most venereal of venereal diseases…. . It is a disease of lust in the broadest sense hence the appearance of the mental phenomena early in its history. . That monarch of the mind, the Will, is overthrown. He thinks, he wills, he acts, and out of that false triune develops the lust disease…. . He at once becomes a victim of that false and disintegrative power of the broken law and the true physiological process at that moment ceases, and a false one is set up with in that organism. ” • “Sycosis implanted on a rich of pseudo-psora soil develops into one of the most formidable enemies of the human race, whose destructive power and depth of action …. cannot be expressed by any combination of words. ” •

Consequences of raising barriers. “Their world is constantly maintained by creating barriers. They know these are not permanent so they live in fear of any breach. ” So, they suffer bouts of anticipatory anxieties, and or panic attacks. The frightening thing about panic attacks is the knowledge that the barriers have been breached again! This……………. disposition is one of dual existence , a perfectly ordinary life but behind the mask is a caged in trauma too ghastly to contemplate but which occasionally escapes to upset the peaceful existence. Hence the presentation of two remedies, neither of which is clear. The patient who is cut off from involvement with the world may be guided by some inner, seemingly hopeless desperation. Prominent, though often unexpressed, are symptoms of fears and anxieties for health and for life.

Childhood illnesses are Acute miasms; they express and change the ultimate level of expression

Childhood illnesses are Acute miasms; they express and change the ultimate level of expression of the inherited miasm, or chronic disease. • • • Measles links to Psora Mumps links to Sycosis Chicken-pox links to Syphilis Croup/whooping cough links to Tubercular Whooping cough links to Cancer. • • Historically the first 4 are milder forms of Scarlet fever, Smallpox, Polio and Diptheria respectively. diseases. • The Acute Miasm arises when there is increased health/energy to deal with it. Usually it will be resolved of its own accord without complications or continuing consequences. • However there is an increase in complications and continuing consequences. With the increase in suppression of acute disease, and with the increase in toxicity caused by modern drugs, the Life force finds it increasingly difficult to clear out the miasmatic load. • What is happening is the disease process is reaching deeper levels and resulting in more complicated chronic diseases in the population as a whole. • Ie Chronic

Summary • A traumatic experience can awaken one or more miasms. The stronger miasm will overpower and combine with the Life force, utilising its energy to infiltrate the whole organism • Primary stage signs may be slight mental and emotional changes…or a rash, or small growth on skin, a discharge or a slow healing open wound, . . depending on the miasm involved. If suppressed, Secondary stage; changes in function of normal processes. Additional and abnormal growths on skin. A more prominent action of the individual miasm or a combination with another. Again if suppressed. • • Tertiary action… the level that tends to get the attention. Generally when sycotic and syphilitic miasm have bonded with psora.

Classical Homoeopathy • The Classical Homoeopath is seeking this information to give the remedy that relates to the Miasm and the manifest symptoms, rather than just attempting to only remove the pain, discomfort etc, in most cases, but which may not do anything more than palliate or suppress! There can be a time to palliate in incurable, advanced, states of pathology. • Then letting the life force do the work! • In an accident or trauma situation. . Remedies are less individual as selected for similarity to the mental or emotional process. • “The consequences of grief and sorrow, if long continued, are worse than those of other affectations; …. ” Hering 1883

Acutes/Flare ups • Proper Acutes are short lived. But they Can Kill if too powerful for the LF……. High grade fevers • By acting on the Acute response following a trauma it is possible to reduce the potential of a dormant miasm being brought into play. • The Acute off the Chronic will last longer and would not be so intense. And generally will be the same set of symptoms each time. This condition needs to be treated miasmatically and not suppressed! Low grade fevers •
