Own Your Self

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.

Then she charts a new path to get real get well and get free.
