Book Hero thinking about your next read

This guide leads readers through the physiology of emotions, to show how everyday emotional traumas can affect our physical health.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

At some point in their lives, most people will have thought:

  • “He should never have said that”
  • “How could she treat me this way?”
  • “I feel guilty when I remember what I said to him”
  • “I’m so angry I can’t bear it”

Usually, we don’t feel that we can discuss these hurtful emotions, such as guilt, anger or jealousy, with our friends and families, let alone go to a GP for advice on dealing with them. We’re a nation that bottles things up, dismissing anger, frustration, hatred and guilt as largely insignificant to our minds and bodies. But powerful emotions like these do affect us in a long-term way, not only mentally but also physically, and it’s important to know how to get them under control before our health really suffers.

This easy-to-follow, plain-English guide shows you why and how emotions can leave a physical scar, and talks about various life factors and influences that can lead to emotional stress. It will help you heal your emotional traumas with a toolkit of strategies, and enables you to take care of your health with a practical, hands-on approach.
