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

Dr Kelly Brogan, New York Times bestselling author and holistic psychiatrist, proposes an alternative to medicating mental, emotional and physical pain away.

''[Will] change how you approach your health and mental wellbeing.'' Sarah Gottfried, author of The Hormone Cure.

For years, we''ve been telling ourselves that our difficult feelings - sadness, rage, shame, intensity, worry - are somehow ''not okay''. All too often, we''ve relied on the promise of pharmaceuticals to tamp them down. The fact is 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 coal mine - sensitive to things that are seriously wrong in the world today.

In a book that''s both provocative and promising, holistic psychiatrist Kelly Brogan MD shows us that we don''t have to medicate our mental, emotional and physical pain away - that the best way out is through. 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
· Exploring the 5 reversible physical drivers of so-called mental illness
· Starting a process of radical physical healing with inclusive details of Dr Brogan''s history-making 30-day protocol
· Taking a deeper dive into the spiritual awakening and expansion that comes when you reclaim your real self from conventional medicine

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 coming home to ourselves.

''Kelly Brogan engages us in a courageous conversation about the epidemic of mental health issues in our society. Her work is an important part of the understanding that will set us free.''
