Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 Amen Clinics are unique in their focus on the brain as the source of many of their patients’ problems. They always begin by addressing the brain’s physical function, and then move on to how it is programmed.
#2 The author, an intern at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, was assigned to help a patient who was in pain and afraid of the IV needle. He tried to help the patient relax, and after some coaxing, she agreed to let him help her.
#3 I had taken a monthlong elective in hypnosis in medical school. I had watched a film of an Indian psychiatrist who had put a patient in a hypnotic trance and had her dilate a vein in her hand. The doctor stuck a needle through the vein and then removed it, causing blood to flow out of both sides of the vein.
#4 The fight-or-flight response is hardwired into our bodies to help us survive. It is activated whenever a stress appears, such as what happened to Beth in the emergency room. However, when stress becomes chronic, such as if you live in a war zone, grow up in an unpredictable alcoholic home, are sexually molested over time, or have financial worries, your nervous system becomes overactive.

#1

Amen Clinics are unique in their focus on the brain as the source of many of their patients’ problems. They always begin by addressing the brain’s physical function, and then move on to how it is programmed.

#2

The author, an intern at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, was assigned to help a patient who was in pain and afraid of the IV needle. He tried to help the patient relax, and after some coaxing, she agreed to let him help her.

#3

I had taken a monthlong elective in hypnosis in medical school. I had watched a film of an Indian psychiatrist who had put a patient in a hypnotic trance and had her dilate a vein in her hand. The doctor stuck a needle through the vein and then removed it, causing blood to flow out of both sides of the vein.

#4

The fight-or-flight response is hardwired into our bodies to help us survive. It is activated whenever a stress appears, such as what happened to Beth in the emergency room. However, when stress becomes chronic, such as if you live in a war zone, grow up in an unpredictable alcoholic home, are sexually molested over time, or have financial worries, your nervous system becomes overactive.

#5

I was stationed at Fort Irwin in California’s Mojave Desert in 1987. I was the only psychiatrist for 4,000 soldiers and their family members. I dealt with many people who suffered from headaches, anxiety attacks, insomnia, and excessive muscle tension.

#6

I had struggled with anxiety for most of my life, which stemmed from the fact that I had an older brother who beat me up regularly when I was young. Using these techniques to calm myself was a relief.

#7

hypnosis, guided imagery, and progressive muscle relaxation are all techniques that can be used to increase parasympathetic tone and decrease the fight-or-flight response. They have been found to have many benefits, including lowering anxiety, sadness, and tension in parents of children with cancer; pain and fatigue in those receiving chemotherapy; and stress in those with multiple sclerosis.

#8

To practice the art of relaxation, sit in a comfortable chair and place your feet on the floor. Focus on a spot on the opposite wall that is a little bit above your eye level. Slowly count to 20. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly three times. Then, imagine yourself at the top of an escalator, counting backward from 10.

#9

When you’re ready, choose a haven. This is a place where you feel comfortable and can imagine with all your senses. After you reach the bottom of the escalator, use all your senses to imagine yourself in your special haven.

#10

The technique of hypnotic trance is very powerful. It can be used to calm down patients and children, and help them focus on a spot on the wall, close their eyes, and relax their bodies and breathe slower.

#11

Breathing is essential to life, and it is involved in everything you do. It delivers oxygen from the atmosphere into your lungs, where your bloodstream picks it up and takes it to all of the cells in your body so that they can function properly.

#12

When you learn how to warm your hands with your brain, you can warm your hands with your thoughts and feel a sense of warmth throughout your body. This technique can be helpful for anxiety, migraine headaches, blood pressure, and irritable bowel syndrome.

#13

The first breathing technique is to shift the energy of your breathing from your upper chest to your abdomen. This will help you feel more relaxed and in better control of yourself almost instantly. The second technique is to take deep breaths, hold them for one to two seconds, and then slowly exhale for about five seconds.

#14

To warm your hands, breathe deeply and slowly, and then imagine a campfire in front of you. Focus on the heat, and feel it penetrating your skin and going deep to warm your hands.
