內容簡介:
Fear, anger, and anxiety–the side effects of life’s everyday
stresses–are natural and sometimes helpful, but left unchecked they
can lead to a host of debilitating ailments that are now so common
we assume they are unavoidable: heart disease, arthritis,
gastrointestinal problems, depression, and more. There is good
news, though: The key to a healthy life free of these conditions is
to activate what Harvard Medical School instructor Dr. Eva Selhub
calls the love response: a series of biochemical reactions that
lower blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, and adrenaline
levels, stimulating physical healing and reinstating balance and
well-being.
A practical life-healing program, the first of its kind, The Love
Response is the result of Dr. Selhub’s years of research–and
clinical practice–on how to reverse the destructive physical
effects of fear and stress, and banish emotional wounds from the
past. Through a simple-to-use plan of awareness, breathing,
visualization, and verbal command exercises, The Love Response
reprograms your brain and changes your biochemistry from negative
to positive, putting you on a path to long-term wellness and
happiness. The Love Response is structured around the three
essential building blocks of mental health:
? social love–connecting not only in your intimate relationships
but with family, friends, and pets
? self-love–learning to nurture yourself with care and tenderness
often the hardest step
? spiritual love–contributing in meaningful ways to the world
beyond your personal needs
The Love Response provides all the tools you need to
transform anger into compassion, release your fears, overcome
shame, embrace self-acceptance, connect through empathy, and,
ultimately, strengthen your natural ability to heal.
