‘Accessible, compassionate, and deeply insightful.’
It’s All in Your Head . . . and Also Your Back, Neck, and Gut explores the profound and often overlooked connection between the mind and the body, revealing how our beliefs, emotions, and subconscious patterns can deeply influence physical health. Blending scientific insight with practical guidance and compelling case studies, this transformative guide illuminates the subtle psychological forces—such as fear, self-sabotage, and emotional fragmentation—that quietly shape our well-being and behaviour.
Through a rich tapestry of real-life stories and accessible frameworks, readers will discover how stress and inner conflict manifest in the body, how to engage with the ‘inner child,’ the ‘feminine self,’ and other fragmented parts of the psyche, and how imagination and storytelling can become powerful pathways to deep and lasting healing. The book also examines the unique emotional burdens carried by healers and healthcare professionals, while emphasising the vital role of connection, community, and support networks in the healing process.
So, whether you are a therapist, healer, or someone on a healing journey, this book offers valuable insights and practical ways to help you understand your whole self and access healing that goes beyond the surface.
