Book Description
As the founder of the Holistic Counseling Center in Raynham, Massachusetts, I talk with people every day who are struggling. A full ninety percent of the patients who seek out my services are so stressed it's taking a toll on their health--they're experiencing lack of sleep, irritability, anxiety, and even actual medical conditions such as autoimmune diseases, infertility, digestive issues, diabetes, migraines, and cardiovascular illness. Most of them have already been to their primary care physician and left with a prescription for Lexapro, hoping that will help. When Lexapro didn't work, they moved on to Zoloft, then Celexa. But they don't get the sense of relief they're craving. In fact, what they've gotten is a new set of side effects that they now have to manage. They're looking for a different way, and that's why they call me. Maybe they heard me speak on mindfulness at a health conference, or they took one of my yoga classes that I teach every week. Many find me by searching for "stress relief" on the Psychology Today website. So many of these people seek me out--over 2,000 walked through the doors of my practice in 2017 alone--that I can't keep up with the demand. That's why I'm writing Your Body Knows How to Heal--as much as I love working with people one-on-one, I can't reach everyone who needs help that way. I keep hiring clinicians to increase the number of people we can serve
