Resumen del Editor

A Powerful Guide for Overcoming the Emerging Emotional Challenge of Our Turbulent Times.

A rising number of people today are troubled by a phenomenon for which they don't know there's a name. This condition is called emotional inflammation - a state not unlike post-traumatic stress, but one that stems from simply living in today's tumultuous world. If you've suffered from sleep problems, hyperreactivity, persistent grief, or inescapable worry about the future - especially triggered by the nonstop news cycle - then you're probably dealing with emotional inflammation. The good news is: there's something you can do about it.

Using the RESTORE Method for Your Unique Reactivity Type

With Emotional Inflammation, general and forensic psychiatrist Dr. Lise Van Susteren joins writer Stacey Colino to present a breakthrough guide for addressing this uniquely modern affliction. You'll begin by determining your "reactor type" to better understand how your body and mind respond to stress overload. Then you'll learn the vital steps of the RESTORE program for recovering balance, resilience, and joy in your life.

You can't always control the crises and catastrophes that are swirling around you. But that doesn't mean you need to be at their mercy. This unabridged audio of Emotional Inflammation is an invaluable guide to help you cope with the challenges of a turbulent world; calm your body and mind; and reclaim a sense of peace, purpose, and connection to others.

The RESTORE Program:

• Recognize Your Feelings: identify, unpack, and learn from difficult emotions
• Evaluate Your Triggers: what sets you off and how to stop it
• Steady Your Body's Natural Rhythms: recover your healthy internal equilibrium
• Think Yourself into a Safe Space: how to remain flexible and adaptable
• Obey Your Body: self-care practices for diet, exercise, and stress management
• Reclaim the Gifts of Nature: revitalize your connection to the natural world
• Exercise Your Power: become an "upstander" who takes action with compassion, hope, and love

How To Be a Snowflake

Author drones on about all of the most woke subjects in the world making us need a safe space. I have anxiety not wokism.

Lots of talk of world problems

The first couple chapters constant talk of symptoms and works problems and politics, no solutions offered. I gave up. Not helpful at all. Seems like the writer wants to let some things off their chest, I may skip ahead and see if any solutions are actually offered but based on the beginning chapters this book is a dud.

Ugh

Horrible. Every single sentence had to have three examples of whatever instead of just getting to the point apparently. Made it so hard to listen to.

Book's Politics Cause Triggers Instead of Helping

This could have been a good helpful book. I had listened to an interview of the author by the founder of Sounds True. So, I was aware of the author's political views to some extent. But, I still expected the book to be a professional presentation of helpful information that would be useful to anyone regardless of their political views. Once I started the book and found it to contain one-sided political views, I thought the political views would end after the introduction. But, the political views continued unabated. Ironically, the book may cause "triggers" for those who do not agree with the author's political views, rather than help the reader to learn how to address their triggers and reduce their stress or anxiety. The book could have been good by either avoiding political views or presenting balanced examples of differing political views. Examples from family, work, and relationships could have been used instead of politics to present the information. The narrator does a good job, especially considering that the book includes some technical jargon. I will be returning the audiobook, and I already returned the Kindle edition which I bought together with the Audiobook.
