The honeymoon is long over. Dad says it’s now whiskey and marriage on the rocks. Mom says she’s going to take him to the cleaners.
Why are they getting divorced and why now that you’re an adult child? Your parents are divorcing or maybe they have divorced already. Everyone is focused on them, but you’re suffering too. Adult children have a really tough time when their parents split up – just as tough, if not tougher, than young children. In this book several adult children of divorce (18 years and older) share their advice, first-hand experience, confusion, uncertainty, anger and sadness that begin the moment when Mom and Dad say: It’s over.
The bad news? The divorce will always be a wound. The good news? You can learn how to handle it better and in time it could just become a scar. In the words of a respondent, Gretha (26): “Time makes all wounds bearable.”
Dr Kelly Brogan, New York Times bestselling author and holistic
psychiatrist, proposes an alternative to medicating mental, emotional
and physical pain away.
'[Will] change how you approach your health and mental wellbeing.'
Sarah Gottfried, author of The Hormone Cure.
For years, we've been telling ourselves that our difficult feelings -
sadness, rage, shame, intensity, worry - are somehow 'not okay'. All
too often, we've relied on the promise of pharmaceuticals to tamp them
down. The fact is that these feelings are a vital part of our
experience. They are real. And those of us who feel them most strongly
are the canaries in the coal mine - sensitive to things that are
seriously wrong in the world today.
In a book that's both provocative and promising, holistic psychiatrist
Kelly Brogan MD shows us that we don't have to medicate our mental,
emotional and physical pain away - that the best way out is through.
Then she charts a new path to get real, get well and get free. The
journey includes:
- Coming to a new appreciation of the meaning behind symptoms
- Exploring the 5 reversible physical drivers of so-called mental
illness
- Starting a process of radical physical healing with inclusive
details of Dr Brogan's history-making 30-day protocol
- Taking a deeper dive into the spiritual awakening and expansion
that comes when you reclaim your real self from conventional medicine
Our experiences, Dr Brogan argues, aren't problems or pathologies; they
reflect what we need to accept, acknowledge and transform in order to
truly become who we are. Own Your Self is a journey of healing and
coming home to ourselves.
