 Dr. Howard Christian PhD. (Immunology), MindBody health coach-practitioner
"Pathologic hair loss; seeing the story behind the symptoms"
Dr. Howard Christian is a MindBody health coach-practitioner, advocate and speaker. An immunologist and former medical communications consultant, Howard was impelled by his own significant health crises to explore a MindBody narrative approach to transform his health. A passionate advocate for MindBody healthcare ever since, he realised that the best way to effect change was to respond to the unmet needs of those with chronic illness. He recognised an emergent role for the coach-practitioner and subsequently retrained in MindBody and relational psychodynamics. His unique approach to the therapeutic alliance brings together the elements of MindBody, relational psychology and energy medicine, with tremendous success in helping people to create their own transformational shifts in emotional, mental and physical wellbeing. Howard has a special interest in the treatment of disorders characterised by impulsiveness (e.g. trichotillomania, dermatillomania) and neurodevelopmental difficulties (e.g. attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder). His view of these as disorders of human connection that may be understood both relationally and symbolically is at odds with the conventional view of causation arising from disordered brain chemistry. He argues that a whole person approach that considers story as well as symptoms is critical in order for the person to attain complete freedom from her or his distress. He is passionate about bringing peace to the world, one person at a time. He’s pretty sure you care about this too.
