Own Your Self: The Surprising Path beyond Depression. Anxiety. and Fatigue to Reclaiming Your Authenticity. Vitality. and Freedom

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. She explodes the mistaken belief that our symptoms-from mood changes to irritability to fogginess and fatigue-are evidence that we are sick or broken. Then she charts a new path to get real get well and get free. The journey includes:  •  Coming to a new appreciation of the meaning behind symptoms and whether you are a canary in the coal mine  •  Learning the 2 major risks of medication that most doctors are not trained to disclose  •  Exploring the 5 reversible physical drivers of so-called mental illness  •  Starting the process of radical physical healing with inclusive details of Dr. Brogan's history-making 30-day protocol  •  Taking an emotional inventory of energy drains and toxic relationships  •  Taking a deeper dive into the spiritual awakening and expansion that comes when you reclaim your real self from conventional medicine  •  Identifying the most likely places you have given your power away  •  Understanding what the science has to say about psychedelics as a tool for awakening  •  Navigating health challenges with curiosity and the proper tools  •  Guidance support and many Travel Tips shared from the trenches!Our experiences Dr. Brogan argues aren't problems or pathologies; they reflect what we need to accept acknowledge and transform in order to truly become who we are. Own Your Self is a journey of healing and also something more: a journey of coming home to ourselves.
