Heal: An Owner's Manual for how to heal emotional wounds and live your truth, (Hardcover)

Marriage and Family Therapist Aimee Semas Day's in-depth knowledge from years of clinical experience has led to the creation of her own model of therapy, proven to be highly effective. This book reflects that therapy model. Heal is the culmination of decades of research, as well as clinical findings, that have led to an understanding of how humans can truly heal from past traumas, restructure their brain for optimism to thrive, recover from limiting mental health symptoms, and change their lives for the better. In this book, you will not only learn what to do when you feel anxious, depressed, or triggered, but also how to process things on a deeper level, which can evoke greater healing, authenticity, and wholeness.

Heal is organized in a way that mimics the therapeutic process: going from developing coping skills to healing past traumas to challenging negative self-talk to applying the concepts and strategies to one's personal relationships. In each chapter, Heal provides tools and exercises that will help you rewire your brain and manage your emotions by honing in on two different things:

#1 developing positive behaviors/habits/skill sets and

#2 healing what needs to heal.

The goal is to have you, the reader, walk away with a greater understanding for why you feel the way you feel and, most importantly, what you can do about it. Understanding how your brain works in tandem with your emotions and why you do what you do will arm you with the ability to navigate current life events more successfully while also healing from past traumas and ultimately growing into the person you are deep down. The real 'destination' in life is authenticity not perfection! This book will help you discover, access, and become the real you.
