Book Preview:

#1 Amen Clinics are unique in their focus on the brain as the source of many of their patients’ problems. They always begin by addressing the brain’s physical function, and then move on to how it is programmed.

#2 The author, an intern at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, was assigned to help a patient who was in pain and afraid of the IV needle. He tried to help the patient relax, and after some coaxing, she agreed to let him help her.

#3 I had taken a monthlong elective in hypnosis in medical school. I had watched a film of an Indian psychiatrist who had put a patient in a hypnotic trance and had her dilate a vein in her hand. The doctor stuck a needle through the vein and then removed it, causing blood to flow out of both sides of the vein.

#4 The fight-or-flight response is hardwired into our bodies to help us survive. It is activated whenever a stress appears, such as what happened to Beth in the emergency room. However, when stress becomes chronic, such as if you live in a war zone, grow up in an unpredictable alcoholic home, are sexually molested over time, or have financial worries, your nervous system becomes overactive.
