Your Best Health by Friday 2nd edition: How to Overcome Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Trauma, PTSD, and Chronic Illness, (Paperback)

Have you exhausted all that Western medicine has to offer? Are you tired of lacking energy and focus? Are your anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and PTSD getting worse? Have you forgotten what joy feels like? If you suffer from anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, PTSD, or chronic illness, and are struggling to get help, you're not alone. Billions of dollars a year are spent in the search for answers on how to cope with living in a body that's rebelling from a life filled with toxic overwhelm. Inspired by neuroscientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's TED talk and book "My Stroke of Insight", Elizabeth Morse researched methods to be able to shift away from the stress of an overly left-brain mindset. She did so by developing the right-brain state, realizing that it could help her heal from trauma and illness. What she found can help heal us all. Trauma is an unfortunate fact of life: two-thirds of the population experience one traumatic event before the age of eighteen. One-third of the population has what professionals consider a traumatic childhood. One in five has been molested. Combat veterans and their families face the troubled emotional legacy of combat stress and PTSD. One in four children grows up in an alcoholic home. One in three couples has struggled with domestic violence. It's now known that these traumas stay with us for our lifetime and lead to a variety of illnesses unless processed and released. It's less well known that processing and releasing emotion can be easy and stress-free. Learn how childhood trauma can kill us as adults, why our left-brain-state-oriented society is facing so much illness, along with action steps to develop the right-brain state in order to heal. If you've found yourself struggling to impose rules on yourself to change behavior, diet, curb anxiety or depression, reduce your reactivity to stress, and rebound from illness, you're in the majority. Setting rules seldom works for long. Instead, find out how to overcome your greatest struggles not by imposing protocols on yourself, but by asking the body what it needs to heal. Part health book, part self-help, part spiritual guide, "Your Best Health by Friday" links body to mind to spirit, shows how a health crisis can really be a spiritual crisis and provides a path to a level of calmness, health, and joy you may never have experienced before. Designed to accommodate a variety of health and emotional wellness needs, "Your Best Health by Friday" is divided into easy, medium, and harder action steps to accommodate your own unique mind, body, and current state of health and emotional wellness. With one foot firmly on each side of the health care divide, Elizabeth has the ability to explain complex information about the mind, body, and spirit in a simple, understandable way, bringing a welcome dose of rationality and reason to explanations of alternative health. "Your Best Health by Friday" provides a shortcut to finding your best health ever, complete with a resource guide for you to follow.
