Sample Book Insights: #1 I was an intern at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC. One night, I was on duty when I heard a woman screaming in the emergency room. I went to see what was going on, and found a 40-year-old woman with a blood clot in her leg. I helped her relax, and she went into a deep trance. #2 Many people can make their blood vessels pop up if they direct their attention to them. With your feet in the pool, allow the blood vessels in your feet to pop up so that I can put an IV in one and you can get the help you need. #3 The secret to overcoming anxiety is to work on optimizing the physical functioning of your brain. When your brain works right, you work right. #4 The fight-or-flight response is a part of the autonomic nervous system, and it is triggered when we are faced with a threat. It helps us either fight or flee the situation. But when stress becomes chronic, such as if you live in a war zone, grow up in an unpredictable alcoholic home, are sexually molested over time, or wake up every morning in a panic, your sympathetic nervous system becomes overactive.
