Although high sensitivity affects both men and women equally, being a highly sensitive man comes with unique challenges. Working closely with Dr. Elaine Aron - the originator of The Highly Sensitive Person--cognitive behavioral psychotherapist Tom Falkenstein offers the only book written specifically for highly sensitive men and those who love them. Highly sensitive people think deeply, empathize instinctively, and behave in an ethical way that benefits everyone. Today, with the negative effects of "toxic masculinity" and aggressive behavior in evidence all around us, we need highly sensitive people--especially men--more than ever. Yet for men in particular, being highly sensitive brings distinct challenges, such as gender stereotypes that portray them as too emotional or not "manly" enough. Cognitive behavioral psychotherapist Tom Falkenstein offers the first psychological guide that specifically addresses highly sensitive men and those who care about them, and explores the unique advantages and obstacles they face. Drawing from his training with pioneer in the field Dr. Elaine Aron, and his own groundbreaking work, Falkenstein incorporates the most up-to-date research on high sensitivity--what it is and isn't, and how it relates to male identity--and provides one-of-a-kind advice and practical tools, including: - Self-assessment tests to measure high sensitivity - Strategies to cope with overstimulation and intense emotions - Exercises that enhance relaxation, mindfulness, and acceptance - Advice on self-care and self-compassion - Techniques to deal with situations that highly sensitive people often find difficult - Interviews with men who have learned to live well with high sensitivity - Insights into the key role that highly sensitive men have to play in today's world Including an illuminating conversation with Dr. Aron, The Highly Sensitive Man is an invaluable book that will help redefine masculinity and reveal how high sensitivity can enrich men's lives, their communities, and the lives of those who love them.
Autoimmune disorders is on the rise, and have exploded over the past 7-10 years, affecting everyone from babies to children, teens, young adults, older adults, and especially women at a rate 5 times greater than men! If you haven't been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, but you have some symptoms or you have a food sensitivity issue3, then you may have the initial stages of a leaky gut. Also, if you haven't been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, but the medications that you've been taking for your diabetes or other disease haven't really helped; or you find yourself feeling worse with each passing day, then, get a full complete physical exam. Why? Most people who wait end up finding out when it's too late that the autoimmune dysfunciton has destroyed part of the thyroid, pancreas, joints, skin tissue, nervous system, retina tissue, or some other part of the body. On the other hand, if you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder and you're taking steroids or some kind of immune suppressant drug, you may want to reconsider, given what these drugs do to your thyroid, immune system and other organs/tissues. Relying on drugs to control the symptoms and / or suppress your immune system only makes matters worse! In fact, suppressing your immune system can make you susceptible to frequent colds, allergies, asthma attacks, etc..; and, if it gets worse; infections, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and even cancer or some other systemic disease. But, the good news is that you can rebalance your immune system naturally to reduce the immune response, and its over-reaction to attacking your own healthy cells. Autoimmne disease refers to a group of more than 100 serious, chronic illnesses including diseases of the nervous, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems as well as the skin and other connective tissues, eyes, blood, and blood vessels.
In this revelatory memoir, Doctor Cynthia Li shares the truth about her disabling autoimmune illness, the limitations of Western medicine, and her hard-won lessons on healing—mind, body, and spirit. Li had it all: a successful career in medicine, a loving marriage, children on the horizon. But it all came crashing down when, after developing an autoimmune thyroid condition, mysterious symptoms began consuming her body. Test after test came back "within normal limits," baffling her doctors—and baffling herself. Housebound with two young children, Li began a solo odyssey from her living room couch to find a way to heal. Brave New Medicine details the physical and existential crisis that forces a young doctor to question her own medical training. She dives into the root causes of her illness, learning to unlock her body's innate intelligence and wholeness. Li relates her story with the insight of a scientist, and the humility and candor of a patient, exploring the emotional and spiritual shifts beyond the physical body. Millions of people worldwide are affected by autoimmune disease. While complex conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) are gaining attention, patients struggling with these mysterious ailments remain largely dismissed by their doctors, families, and friends. This is the harsh reality that doctor-turned-"difficult patient" Li faced firsthand. Drawing on cutting-edge science, ancient healing arts, and the power of intuition, this memoir offers support, validation, and a new perspective for doctors and patients alike. Through her story, you can find the wisdom and heart to start your own healing journey, too.
