The body constantly sends signals—what matters is learning to notice and understand them. Clinical psychologist Мария Ракитина helps you master the “translation” of symptoms: why an illness may drag on, what lies behind pain, and how to turn a physical ailment into an mindful conversation with yourself.
Important! This book is not a medical manual. If you have health problems, you must consult a doctor!
Why do some illnesses not go away even with correct treatment? What do pain and discomfort tell us? Мария Ракитina’s book is a practical guide that helps you build a connection between the psyche and the body. The author is a clinical psychologist, an emotionally-imaginative therapist, a teacher, and a supervisor—she has worked for many years with psychosomatics and shows how a symptom can become an entry point to a deeper understanding of yourself. You will learn to recognize bodily messages, see your emotions and needs more clearly, and—based on that—find inner resources for recovery and for improving your quality of life.
