"New York Times best-selling author presents a radical alternative to psychotropic meds: discerning the meaning in your symptoms and your struggle as a way to reclaim your health and your self. For years, we've been telling ourselves that our difficult feelings--sadness, rage, shame, intensity, worry--are somehow "not okay." And, all too often, we've relied on the promise of pharmaceuticals to tamp them down. The fact is, though, that these feelings are a vital part of our experience. They are real. And those of us who feel them most strongly are the canaries in the coalmine--sensitive to things that are seriously wrong in the world today. In a book that's both provocative and promising, holistic psychiatrist Kelly Brogan, M.D., author of A Mind of Your Own, shows us that we don't have to medicate our mental, emotional, and physical pain away--that the best way out is through. She explodes the mistaken belief that our symptoms--from mood changes to irritability to fogginess and fatigue--are evidence that we are sick or broken"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

It didn’t get better. I was very disappointed with this book when I came across this statement.
“And what about contagion? It has never actually been proven that germs travel from one person to another and infect them.” (29%)
Really? I already thought this book read like an infomercial, and now an outrageous statement like this. BTW, There have never been double blind placebo controlled studies on whether parachute use is effective in preventing injuries when falling from an airplane.
Part 2 is about weaning off prescription medications. Many patients find withdrawal to be an extremely trying time. Dr. Brogan never called 911 nor put them on suicide watch. Several reports of the joy of being off those medications that blunt their feelings.
Part 3 incudes:
Your Daily Kundalini Yoga Pre-Dawn Practice
- Prepare
- Go to bed before 9 pm
- Set your alarm for no later than 6 am
- Create space
- Meditate
- Choose a 3 to 11 minute meditation that you will commit to for 40 days.
- Posture: Easy pose
- Eyes closed
- Breathe
- To end:Hold the breath for 10-15 seconds while you stretch the spine
The book reads well. Some of the suggestions are well founded. Others are not for me. Many of them will work for some people.
She cites lots of sources, provided an index and bibliography.
I bought a kindle edition of this book because it looked interesting and was cheap. (
