Healing Mind, Healthy Woman: Using the Mind-Body Connection to Manage Stress and Take Control of Your Life - Hardcover
Synopsis
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.

Review
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.
