Heal Your Mind, Heal Your Body

My new book, Empower Your Child To Heal: 8 Mind-Body Methods to End Anxiety, GI and Autoimmune Conditions, publishes on October 20, so I'm dedicating my podcast this month to topics pulled from the book. Today, I'll introduce the irony that occurs when a sick child seems to prefer to dwell in their victimhood rather than embrace healing. Unfortunately, while parents provide care and virtually anything they want or need, the sick child may choose to enjoy the privileges that come with their conditions -- which keeps them marinating on what they don't have instead of what's possible with healing. Listen in to learn what you can do about it. Also, I'm giving away a FREE workbook at drskyler.net called "Healing Phases: Moving from Victim to Warrior" which will help you understand where you and your child are at in the healing process.
