Anxiety, panic, stress, and trauma all make us feel like our inner landscape is out of our control. They limit how we relate with ourselves and others. We only bring a sliver of our full potential to the moment when we operate from within them. Our bodies cannot sustain these states for long before our health deteriorates. This is common knowledge for most and many have developed methods to manage their stress. What happens when the tools we use to unwind and relax are out of reach? How do you respond in times of panic or when traumatic events upend your life? In those moments do your methods of clearing your inner environment still work? Are they even available then? Rory relied on several mindfulness techniques and fitness routines to maintain his mental, physical, and spiritual balance. Those became unavailable after three traumatic events. When he needed them the most he couldn’t access them. When nothing he did externally affected his inner space three simple practices transformed his internal realms almost immediately. Instantly, he felt safe in his body and began to work on his trauma. The core teachings of this book are these three practices. These action steps are not taught as ways to clear our inner landscapes in their traditional settings. Yet, that is what they do when we turn them inward. Rory shares his discoveries and the insights he has gained on his journey. He shows you how to transform your own inner environment. You will learn how to: Operate from peace rather than worry, fear, anxiety, or anger Feel safe and secure in your own body Center yourself or re-center yourself if trauma has de-centered you Neutralize events of inner turmoil immediately Calm your body and mind Find meaning in your suffering Cultivate lasting change in your relationship with anxiety, panic, stress and trauma

If you want to feel happier, more optimistic, more joyful, and resilient, Dr. Amen’s groundbreaking new book is for you. We’ve all felt anxious, sad, traumatized, grief-stricken, stressed, angry, or hopeless at some point in life. It’s perfectly normal to go through emotional crises or have periods when you feel panicked or out of sorts.

And even though these behaviors may give temporary relief from feeling bad, they usually only prolong and exacerbate the problems—or cause other, more serious ones. Is it possible to feel better—and make it last? Renowned physician, psychiatrist, brain-imaging researcher, and founder of Amen Clinics Dr. Daniel Amen understands how critical it is for you to know what will help you feel better fast, now and later. In Feel Better Fast and Make It Last, you’ll discover new, powerful brain-based strategies to quickly gain control over anxiety, worry, sadness, stress and anger, strengthening your resilience and giving you joy and purpose for a lifetime.

There is an epidemic of fatigue running rampant in our society. Every morning, hundreds of thousands of women wake up to find themselves exhausted, overwhelmed, and overstressed. Groggily turning off the alarm, they reach for coffee, soda, or some other promise of energy. They suffer through the day-irritable, on edge, forgetful, depressed, and craving sweets. And then, at night, they have trouble sleeping. Diet and exercise don't seem to change things-if they even have the energy to follow these programs. So what on earth is going on?In Are You Tired and Wired?, Marcelle Pick, co-founder of Women to Women-one of the first clinics in the country devoted to providing health care for women by women-and the author of The Core Balance Diet, focuses on the root cause of these symptoms: adrenal dysfunction.With all the stresses that exist today-from challenges at home and at work to environmental toxins to chronic health problems-the adrenal glands, which are responsible for providing the fight-or-flight hormones, can force the body to endure a constant flood of stress hormones that can ultimately lead to multiple health issues, especially severe fatigue. The good news is that through diet, lifestyle adjustments, and reprogramming of stressful emotional patterns this can all be fixed!Pick helps readers identify which of three adrenal dysfunction profiles they fit-racehorse, workhorse, or flatliner-and then lays out an easy-to-follow, scientifically based program to help them restore adrenal balance, re-gear their metabolism, and regain their natural energy to live a happier and less-stressed life.
