Book Description

The MindBody Workbook is an updated and additional volume to the original MindBody Workbook. The workbook is a guided journal that helps the interested and motivated individual to make the mindbody connection, not just read about it. The format is a structured or "guided" journal that takes about thirty days to complete. Journaling, or expressive writing as it is sometimes called, has been a highly successful and significant component of my clinical practice in treating individuals with TMS and related conditions for over twenty-five years.Justin Barker Psy.D. and David Schechter, MD wrote this second Volume because readers have requested an updated perspective, another month of guided journaling, and because so much more has been learned about the significance of expressive writing. In addition, we have many more years of experience working with patients with TMS and more knowledge of the right prompts to help people identify key feelings and life experiences that can help those seeking relief from pain, stress, and other conditions.This Workbook also works well with Think Away Your Pain and The MindBody Healing Journey online course. We are including detailed tips for healing, focusing on self-talk strategies, affirmations, and other day-to-day approaches to make the changes in your brain that are essential for the pain to go away. There is a unique affirmation for each day of the Workbook. Additional sections for those struggling to heal, those wanting to try different types of journaling, and those seeking a mindbody practitioner are included.
