Can You Hear What Your Body Has to Say?

One pamphlet that crossed my desk said, “one in five Americans use at least one psychiatric drug a day.” Wow! Have we given up on helping people deal with their feelings? There are so many options for help available these days before opting for drugs.  When we medicate our pain, we can’t feel it and therefore we don’t even know we have pain. And I am talking emotional pain as well as physical pain. I remember a woman who brought her daughter to me after having an accident because years before, the mom was involved in a car accident and was put on a drug she took for 9 years, until she realized how disconnected she was to her children. She didn’t want that to happen to her daughter. Allow your body to talk to you!
