This is a multi-modality guide to overcoming post-traumatic stress and ACE (adverse childhood events) for survivors and practitioners, focusing on Dr Herington's 2-pronged approach of restoring biochemical balance with diet, lifestyle measures, homeopathy and botanicals and enabling survivors to tell and/or reframe their story. Modern medicine's answer to post traumatic stress (PTS or PTSD) and the negative effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) has been pharmaceuticals yet associated mental health problems, including suicide, continue to increase – there has to be a more effective alternative. Dr Herington, a naturopathic doctor with 30 years of experience of working with survivors of traumatic events in Canada and the US, shows how a pharmaceutical-free approach that includes returning the body's biochemistry to balance with natural medicine (lifestyle, nutrition, homeopathy and botanicals) and allowing survivors to tell or reframe their personal story through talking therapies and the creative arts solutions can enable those survivors to regain control of their lives.
