We Are All in Shock: How Overwhelming Experiences Shatter You and What You Can Do about It

We Are All in Shock provides the tools for reclaiming complete well-being after overwhelming experiences of shock, trauma, or PTSD whether caused by the massive sweep of current events or a personal catastrophe. Dr. Mines redefines psychological trauma and revolutionizes the concept of self-care by identifying the true cause of anxiety, explaining why it is so prevalent in society today and how by recognizing its effect we can find new stability and healing. Parents, nurses, crisis workers, massage therapists and body workers, psychotherapists and the everyday reader will benefit from the practices Dr. Mines designed not only for symptomatic relief but also for the complete resolution of physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual shock and trauma.
We Are All in Shock demystifies energy medicine by presenting the reader with tools to help diminish and eliminate the nervous system's habitual responses to overwhelming events. Dr. Mines' work combines the ancient knowledge of traditional healing with the most contemporary scientific interpretation of how the brain works, to offer a clear understanding of neurological behavior. Some keys from the book, for self-healing of severe shocks that undermine neurological development:

• The use of self-administered subtle healing energy medicine
• The use of language as a healing vehicle
• Holistic integration--owning the changes in the nervous system during the resolution of shock
• The neurobiology of love--the fluid release of neurotransmitters that stimulate and enhance creativity, self-confidence, contentment and focus
