Book Reviews of Healing Mind, Healthy Woman: Using the Mind-Body Connection to Manage Stress and Take Control of Your Life
Book Review: i believe i got pregnant because of this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
i wrote the previous review. i would just like to add how valuable this book has been to me. when i read "healing mind, healthy woman", i was struggling with over 3 years of secondary infertility. as soon as i began the relaxation exercises, i noticed an improvement in my life immediately. i was more calm and more patient with my daughter and husband. the writing exercises allowed me to recognize how i had been blaming & punishing myself, until i finally forgave myself enough to get the treatment that i needed and deserved. my fertility treatment has less than 50% success rate, but i am now pregnant after just 1 cycle! and i didn't experience any side effects from the drugs involved, even though most women reported having them. i credit the skills i learned in this book for enabling me to be at my healthiest and therefore increasing the effectivity of my treatment. i would definitely recommend this book to all women, not just those with health problems. i will continue to use the skills i learned to ensure that i have a healthy & happy pregnancy. thank you very much, ms. alice domar & mr. henry dreher, for changing my life. i wish i could have written to you both directly. i hope you will get to read this review.

Summary of Healing Mind, Healthy Woman: Using the Mind-Body Connection to Manage Stress and Take Control of Your Life
An esteemed Harvard Medical School doctor who has developed relaxation methods designed to reduce stress and heal the body now applies those techniques to the seven health issues that most commonly affect women: PMS, infertility, difficult pregnancies, menopause, eating disorders, breast and gynecological cancers, and endometriosis/pelvic pain.Dr. Domar has created an integrated program of mainstream therapies combined with mind-body relaxation techniques that works far better than either approach alone. Whether used to help women conceive, reduce both the physical and psychological symptoms of PMS, cut down on menopausal hot flashes, or improve self-esteem, Dr. Domar's methods are proven effective, and are now available to all women who want to use their minds to heal their bodies.
Women are infected with negative self images and stereotypes which can wreak havoc on their ability to stay well and recover from illness. Dr. Domar discusses the connection between psychological suffering, physical illness and healing. Her book contains a section on general health followed by a guide to specific problems. She describes the importance of asking for and accepting support: something most women are much better at giving than receiving.
