Description
Dr. Lisa M. Shulman, a neurologist, shares her personal experience of profound loss and her journey to understand the science behind the mind-altering experience of grief. In this book, she combines her expertise in brain science with her experience as a clinician, caregiver, and widow to explain how the mind, brain, and body respond and heal following traumatic loss.
Shulman draws on the latest studies about grief and its effects to provide a comprehensive understanding of the experience. She also offers practical psychological techniques, including dream interpretation, journaling, mindfulness exercises, and meditation, to help readers regain their emotional balance and navigate the passage from profound sorrow to healing and growth.
This frank and empathetic account provides a unique perspective on the science of emotional trauma and its impact on the human body. By exploring the intersection of loss and emotional restoration, Shulman offers a hopeful and supportive guide for those seeking to heal and move forward.
