Unique in its approach, the new book by Yvonne Farrell provides a framework for understanding how effective the channel system is at supporting survival through allowing the body to hide or store trauma, stress and burnout in acts of self-preservation. She looks at how these latencies are created by the different channel systems, why they are created and the cost of these to the individual in terms of chronic imbalance or disease. Patients can become stuck in survival mode and the book explores how to use acupuncture to bypass the human biological reluctance for change and reach the body on a cellular level. The book sheds light on the deeply rooted pathologies of somatization, bad habits and lifestyle choices, and contains a number of case studies designed to illustrate the book's theories and help the practitioner in the diagnosis and treatment of their patient.
Acupuncture for Surviving Adversity is about moving patients beyond survival and to a state of balance and wellbeing using acupuncture, giving practitioners the tools that will allow trauma survivors and other patients to reset themselves.

Press Reviews
Trace Albrecht, LAc
The loving essence of this powerful, poetic medicine comes through on every page. Dr. Farrell has practiced, embodied, and illuminated through her teaching, the limitless wisdom and adaptability of acupuncture. In the clinic or in the supermarket, may we all learn to "see the person before you as whole," and work with "intent rather than agenda."
Dr. Sonia F. Tan. DAOM, RAc., RTCMP
Reading this book is a journey into the soul of the channels and vessels. It enlightens the health practitioner to the deeper tools one can utilize in facilitating the transformation of our patient's whole health. More than this, it is a voyage of discovery and inspiration for the spirit to overcome mere survival, and transform. Dr. Farrell's clear, articulate writing helps open these windows of insight, and her heart and love are palpable as she shares her knowledge and experience. If you are reading this book for simple tools, you will have more than that, you will have opened the door to a large toolbox of self-discovery and evolution.
