Mental Health: Not Just in Your Head
There are many overlooked influences on mental health, such as poisoning, adrenal fatigue, poor nutrition, genetics, the absence of a social network, lack of physical touch, trauma, and unresolved BodyMindSoul blocks. Everything has a cause. Skilled evaluation by someone who sees holistically is key. This includes an understanding of the relationship between the soul and physical body, so that suffering is not dismissed as hyper-sensitivity, deception, or merely being “in your head.” Recorded on June 17, 2018.
