Episode 50 - From Trauma Work to Homeopathy: Elizabeth Balcar’s HFA Journey

In this episode, we speak with Elizabeth Balcar, a practitioner of HFA from the United States, about her journey into homeopathy and how HFA has reshaped her practice. Elizabeth shares how she came to homeopathy later in life after working extensively with PTSD, and how discovering Burnett’s work and later Grant’s books opened new perspectives. She explains how HFA’s focus on colour groups and miasms as forces gave her the structure she had been missing, allowing her to prescribe with greater clarity and confidence. We also explore the importance of Aphorism 27, the philosophy behind Soul & Survival, and how understanding miasms through HFA not only changes clinical outcomes but also enriches how we see relationships and human behaviour.

1. Elizabeth’s Journey into Homeopathy: Elizabeth shares her background working with PTSD and how this eventually led her into homeopathy later in life. She describes her early influences, including Burnett and combination remedies, and reflects on the limitations she encountered before discovering HFA.
2. Discovering HFA and Soul & Survival: We explore how Elizabeth found Grant’s books and later the online HFA course, which provided the structure she had been seeking. She explains how HFA transformed her prescribing, making it more consistent and giving her confidence in identifying dominant miasms.
3. Miasms, Colours, and Forces in Practice: The conversation turns to the philosophical foundations of HFA, including miasms as forces of motion rather than diseases, and the role of colour groups as neutral descriptors. Elizabeth reflects on how this perspective not only enhances clinical practice but also deepens understanding of human behaviour and relationships.
4. Practical Application and Aphorism 27: Elizabeth discusses how she applies HFA in her work with clients, particularly those dealing with trauma and PTSD. We also reflect on the importance of Aphorism 27 for guiding modern homeopathic practice, and how Soul & Survival has helped integrate these principles into accessible tools for practitioners.
5. Teaching, Learning, and Reflection: The episode closes with a discussion about the complementary teaching styles of Louise and Grant, the ongoing value of HFA for both students and experienced practitioners, and Elizabeth’s gratitude for how the system has transformed her work and outlook.
