Historia
Milton H. Erickson has been called the most influential hypnotherapist of our time. Part of his therapy was his use of teaching tales, which through shock, surprise, or confusion - with genius use of questions, puns, and playful humor - helped people to see their situations in a new way. In this audiobook Sidney Rosen has collected over 100 of the tales. Presented verbatim and accompanied by Dr. Rosen's commentary, they are grouped under such headings as Motivating Tales, Reframing, and Capturing the Innocent Eye.

For a decade, with the help of her husband, she ran a successful food blog, wrote award-winning cookbooks, and raised two children. In the midst of this, at age 48, she suffered a mini-stroke. Tests revealed she would recover fully, but when her doctor impressed upon her that emotional stress can cause physical damage, she dove deep inside herself to understand and let go of a lifetime of damaging patterns of thought.

By sharing her own struggle with a disabling autoimmune crisis, which forced her to question her own conventional medical training and embrace the integrative principles of functional medicine, Li reveals the insider knowledge sufferers need to truly begin healing - mind, body, and spirit.

This was the stark reality facing Sheri Salata when she left her 20-year stint at The Oprah Winfrey Show, Harpo Studios, and the OWN network.

After years of telling other people’s makeover stories, Sheri decided to “produce” her own life transformation.

Resumen del Editor
A directionally-challenged woman with a dreaded fear of pain and the tendency to faint at the slightest physical malady goes on a soul search and winds up with an unconventional medical degree, an overweight chicken as a house guest, and a new road map for life.
Dr. Jennifer Smith disappointed her family and amused her friends by retiring from her steady job as a public school science teacher at the age of 27 in order to attend one of only seven accredited North American naturopathic medical colleges. Despite her chronic fear of pain and aversion to most bodily fluids, she found herself elbow deep in a cadaver, and having to regularly ask total strangers to cough, bend over, or pee in a cup. Failing to recognize that she's not a natural for natural medicine (or any medicine for that matter), she completed her studies and became a licensed physician. Spending years in a profession she’s wholly unsuited for gave her a unique perspective on human suffering. It also put her in the position of being able to entertain and inform listeners (and audiences) who are looking for a way to end their own suffering.
Determined to make her life a lot more difficult than it had to be, she chose to specialize in a type of medicine that tends to rile skeptics, raise eyebrows, and cause her to have to explain the unexplainable to frightened mothers with feverish children, eager medical students, and frantic surgeons who are moments away from cutting open people who just remembered that they forgot to list their homeopathic remedy under the current medications section of their medical intake form.
Dr. Jennifer Smith is a licensed naturopathic physician who has specialized in homeopathic medicine for the past 27 years. She studied homeopathy in the United States, Canada, and India with the best homeopaths of this generation, and is a Diplomate of the Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic Physicians. She served as an adjunct professor in an integrative health care program at Metropolitan State University of Denver, where her lecturing style and sense of humor helped fill class rosters and attract large audiences. She currently lives and practices in North Carolina.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“I was immediately drawn into this book and couldn’t put it down. I laughed. I loved it. I loved the way it was written.” (Bryan Robinson, PhD, author of #Chill: Turn Off Your Job and Turn On Your Life)
“I loved Jennifer Smith’s memoir; My Chicken Thinks I'm a Quack. It is not only the story of one woman’s journey from and return to her native state of North Carolina, it is a wise and useful book about healing - the spirit as well as the body. Jennifer's discovery of her passion for homeopathy unfolds with humor, honesty and vulnerability. Her stories not only delight but illustrate the power and beauty of homeopathic remedies reminiscent of Dorothy Shepherd and Margery Blackie.” (Krista Heron ND, DHANP)
"With her lovely, southern voice and humor, Dr. Smith tells the story of her personal journey to become a naturopathic physician and a homeopath. Her story provides an understanding of the field of homeopathy, the relationship of humans to the earth, the importance of really listening to people, and the power of humans to heal. Running through the book are the underlying principles of appreciating our humanity, learning to laugh at ourselves, the amazing qualities of breath, and the importance of moments." (Carol Jensen, M.Ed, creator of the Integrative Health Care program at Metropolitan State University of Denver)

Historia
If every therapist and psychotherapist on the planet could repeat this to their clients, like a mantra, again and again, there would be fewer therapists and psychotherapists. Because it works. Very quickly. Realising that what you're worrying about and stressing over doesn't really matter so much in the grand scheme of things is the door to freedom and healing. And the little profanity 'F**k It' is the key to that door.

The Chopra brothers were among the most eager and ambitious of the new generation. In the 1970s, they each emigrated to the United States to make a new life. Both faced tough obstacles: while Deepak encountered resistance from Western-trained doctors over what he called the mind-body connection, Sanjiv struggled to reconcile the beliefs of his birthplace with those of his new home. Eventually, each brother became convinced that America was the right place to build a life, and the Chopras went on to great achievements.

It's a report tempered by hard times. In "Matricide", Daum unflinchingly describes a parent's death and the uncomfortable emotions it provokes; and in "Diary of a Coma" she relates her own journey to the twilight of the mind. But Daum also operates in a comic register. With perfect precision, she reveals the absurdities of the marriage-industrial complex, of the New Age dating market, and of the peculiar habits of the young and digital.

In the unlikely sounding arena of a public nursing home, she led her teammate into a series of encounters with the residents that revealed depths of warmth, humor, and insight Halpern hadn't expected.
