German New Medicine & Naturopathy: Support Group at RISC

Our next monthly support meeting at RISC is on Monday 8th December 2025 at 7.30pm.

Tim Atkins will be introducing us to the topic of German New Medicine, which challenges the traditional (mostly Western) way of thinking about health and healing. It centres around the idea that a series of changes in the body and mind originate from a "conflict shock" (traumatic event). This theoretical medicine promotes the idea that symptoms are only the surface of the problem.

Tim will talk about the connection between conflict shock, symptoms & a person's wider wellbeing. He will also share some practical tips on how to resolve the original trauma and maintain a healthy mind and body using natural tools and methods alongside positive psychology.

Free refreshments will be available and after the session there will be time for questions and a chat.

Please register your free place through Eventbrite at https://dx-dec08-2025.eventbrite.co.uk

Tim is a certified Naturopath and positive psychology coach. He has also spent over 25 years dealing with his own physical illnesses and mental wellbeing challenges.
