5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding is a major element of healing!

I developed something called Central Sensitization Syndrome last year after an injury and along with reading a book called How to Do the Work, and a program called DNRS, this book was a major element of my recovery. It also helped me so much in learning how to set boundaries around my life and how crucial they are to my livelihood and longevity of life! I wish I could force everyone to read this book. I carry it around in my purse now so I can tell others about it. Seriously life changing. Please read it!!

The books is equal parts science and psychiatry. Carefully and thoughtfully written, Dr. Maté guides his readers to understand that Western medicine and American culture have led us away from seeing health as binary: mental health vs. physical health. Using scientific studies and his own experience, Dr. Maté aptly demonstrates that the two are inextricably linked.

It has forced me to take a good look at stressors and how my external environment impacts me internally.

Highly recommend!

I’ve read many books, but this is the only one I’ve said should be mandatory reading for all students!

Very informative. It shows the connection between mind and body. It would have been nice to have differences in situation / emotion for the different diseases highlighted more. They started to run together for me after a while.

5.0 out of 5 stars A welcome addition to my library

The book is insightful, well researched, and easy for the general public to follow. It was recommended to me by a friend who said it is helpful in resolving long repressed emotions.

I wanted to read it right away, so did not want to wait for a hard copy to arrive. I opted for a Kindle copy and although I read it in a few sittings, the copy presented problems. At first, I thought it was badly written, but then realized that the Kindle edition was simply a disaster in formatting. I have since bought a hard copy and am reading it again, this time without the distraction of a jumbled manuscript. I have noticed this before in some of my Kindle purchases and as much as I love my Kindle, there is obvious work to be done in the formatting department.

The research presented in this book is much the same findings presented in "The Body Keeps The Score" by Dr Van der kolk. After reading both, The Body Keeps The Score seems to outline WHAT happens in the body from a more clinical/medical perspective and "When the Body Says No" seems to explain HOW it happens in most people's lives. This book is compassionate and presents the options of healing without prescriptions, if one can look honestly at their own past and present mindsets.

I just finished reading the book. The last three
chapters of the book talk directly to your heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2023
Informative read. Keep an open mind while reading this book, you may be able to "connect the dots". Western medicine seems to operate on the premise that mind and body are separate and are treated as such. Definitely recommend.
