The Language of Symptoms

Dr. Gabriella Mereu’s work explores physical symptoms through the spontaneous words people use to describe them.

The symptom is observed directly and described in the simple language of a two-year-old child, without medical terminology or the names of diseases. The words that emerge draw from the collective unconscious and can reveal the pattern expressed through the body. Recognising that pattern opens the possibility of unlocking it through the practices developed by Gabriella.

The soul speaks simply.

Help carry Gabriella Mereu's work into other languages

Natural Health Fellowship is seeking bilingual translators and cultural mediators who can help make Gabriella Mereu’s work accessible in English, Spanish, Russian and other languages.

This work requires more than linguistic accuracy. Gabriella’s method draws upon popular sayings, ancestral expressions, regional language, dialect and the spontaneous metaphors through which the collective unconscious speaks within each culture.

A literal translation may preserve the words while losing the message they carry. We are therefore looking for people who know both languages and cultures from within and can recognise the emotional force, humour, disruption and resonance contained in their everyday expressions.

The purpose is to transmit the function of the language without censoring, softening or separating it from the cultural field in which it arose.

If you have the linguistic and cultural experience required for this work and would like to contribute, contact Natural Health Fellowship.
