During my practice years of 1984 - 2009 I conducted detailed interviews with over 7000 people suffering from medically unexplained symptoms. In over 4000 of these the cause of the illness was linked to ACEs and I developed techniques for relieving physical symptoms by addressing the long-term effects of ACEs through counseling. Often these were dramatically effective, even in people who had been ill for decades.
My book on this subject titled "They Can't Find Anything Wrong" was praised by a past president of the American Psychosomatic Society as "truly remarkable." I now chair a non-profit corporation whose mission is to teach these concepts to medical and mental health professionals throughout the US and in Europe.
