What if PDA isn’t what we think it is?
What if instead of viewing it as a form of autism, or a nervous system disability, it’s actually best understood as an intelligent behavioural adaptation, intentionally enacted by the brain for a specific biologically meaningful reason that mainstream psychology and medicine have no knowledge of?
If I could show you that the above were true, would this change the way you…
Feel about your child’s behaviour?
Address challenges related to school, hygiene, and social life?
Look ahead to your child’s future?
My name is Amanda, and I’m “Mummy” to an amazing 8-year-old PDAer.
Long before I’d ever heard about PDA, I was extremely fortunate to stumble across – and begin studying – the research of a medical doctor named Ryke Geerd Hamer. His discoveries are often referred to as “Germanic New Medicine”, and have been heavily suppressed for decades because of the threat they pose to the profits of the pharmaceutical industry.
At the core of GNM are the Five Biological Laws, which explain the true nature of disease and healing in all living creatures. Through thousands of case studies including CT scans of his patients’ brains, Dr. Hamer uncovered that aside from occurrences of injury, malnutrition, or poisoning, all illnesses, health conditions, and mental and emotional imbalances can be explained as meaningful adaptations that the subconscious enacts in order to help the affected human being to overcome the effects of what he called a “conflict shock” event.
In the case of PDA, the conflict shock events that create the PDA profile are related to the concepts of territory and hierarchy. Just like animals in the wild, the brains of humans are hard-wired to respond in very specific ways to territorial threats and changes in perceived hierarchy, and those responses have an important purpose to the survival of the species.
This is exactly what I am so excited to teach you about, as it relates to PDA. Understanding PDA through this biological lens will change everything for the better for your family. You will never again have to worry that something is “wrong” with your child, be afraid that your parenting approach somehow caused your child’s struggles, or feel caught in the endless cycle of lowering demands further and further.
