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, they are real.
In a book that's both provocative and promising, 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 are evidence that we are sick or broken. Then she charts a new path to get real, get well, and get free. The journey includes:
- Coming a new meaning behind symptoms
- Starting a process of radical physical healing
- Doing an inventory of energy drains and toxic relationships
- Taking a deeper dive into the spiritual awakening and expansion that comes when we reclaim our real self from conventional medicine
Our experiences, Dr. Brogan argues, they reflect what we need to accept, acknowledge, and transform in order to truly become who we are. Get Real, Get Well, Get Free is a journey of healing, and also something more: a journey of coming home to ourselves.
