Own Your Self

The Surprising Path beyond Depression, Anxiety, and Fatigue to Reclaiming Your Authenticity, Vitality, and Freedom

By: Kelly Brogan MD

Narrated by: Kelly Brogan MD

For years, we've been telling ourselves that our difficult feelings-sadness, rage, shame, intensity, worry-are somehow "not okay." And, all too often, we've relied on the promise of pharmaceuticals to tamp them down. The fact is, though, that these feelings are a vital part of our experience. They are real. And those of us who feel them most strongly are the canaries in the coalmine-sensitive to things that are seriously wrong in the world today. In a book that's both provocative and promising, holistic psychiatrist Kelly Brogan, M.D., author of A Mind of Your Own, shows us that we don't have to medicate our mental, emotional, and physical pain away-that the best way out is through. She explodes the mistaken belief that our symptoms-from mood changes to irritability to fogginess and fatigue-are evidence that we are sick or broken. Then she charts a new path to get real, get well, and get free. The journey includes: Coming to a new appreciation of the meaning behind symptoms, and whether you are a canary in the coal mine Learning the 2 major risks of medication that most doctors are not trained to disclose Exploring the 5 reversible physical drivers of so-called mental illness Starting the process of radical physical healing with inclusive details of Dr. Brogan's history-making 3-day protocol Taking an emotional inventory of energy drains and toxic relationships Taking a deeper dive into the spiritual awakening and expansion that comes when you reclaim your real self from conventional medicine Identifying the most likely places you have given your power away Understanding what the science has to say about psychedelics as a tool for awakening Navigating health challenges with curiosity and the proper tools Guidance, support, and many Travel Tips shared from the trenches! Our experiences, Dr. Brogan argues, aren't problems or pathologies; they reflect what we need to accept, acknowledge, and transform in order to truly become who we are. Own Your Self is a journey of healing, and also something more: a journey of coming home to ourselves.This audio product contains a PDF with supporting material, and the PDF is available to download.

fantastic

Everyone can benefit from this book. it helps one heal themselves for lasting benefit instead of finding solutions outside oneself, which Don not work.

empowering

Kelly Brogan has beautifully captured in her work how to reclaim our own power and lives .

Again! I am restarting this immediately!

I don’t recall a book that spoke to me so clearly and and got me this excited! I can’t wait to start it over and listen again. I also ordered the paperback so that I can take notes and highlight passages.
Thank you!!!

Overall A Great Overview

While I don't agree with Dr Kelly Brogan on everything, something I am sure she would welcome, I do agree with about 85% of what she says and find her overall vision absolutely necessary in today's climate.

In Own Your Self, Brogan describes several different issues with our current system of "sick care" (not health care), and offers many helpful interventions--most of which one can implement on their own and rather cheaply. In a better world, something closer to Brogan's perspective would be the mainstream view and not the "fringe alternative", but here we are. Ultimately, we're blessed to have her perspective well-represented in her own uncensored words here.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone with an open, but not uncritical, mind. But if you're already onboard with discarding our current profit driven medical system, you really ought to read/listen to this one immediately.
