Are you feeling lost in your depression, worry, anxiety, or negative emotions? Do you want to create change in your life, but don't yet know how? Did you know that symptoms of anxiety and depression are a sign that your body is healthy, and it is possible to be cured?Seven years ago, I experienced an epiphany during a panic attack that completely changed my mental health reality. I have since been entirely free of ten years of depression. Depression and anxiety are now Global epidemics. In the past Medical Professionals had told me I would have to live with my depression and that I had an incurable illness. Yet, that wasn't the reality. The reality I discovered was that I could change my brain and my emotional states, and overcoming fear was the first step. Over the past seven years, I was able to change my habits and take control of my mind. I am now a fear coach and an expert in emotional health. I am also a certified Neuro-Linguistic Practitioner helping people re-wire their brains to achieve the self that they want. I have researched: Neuroscience, psychology, the mind, biology, mindfulness, and what is working for other people who have overcome their depression and anxiety for good. I have compiled all that research and self-experience into one book to help you understand: The real cause of depression and anxiety. Why you or someone you know experiences depression and anxiety and how these symptoms are normal. How your mind works and how to take control of your brain and your emotions. Learn more about emotional mind-body connection. How changes to our modern world affect mental health and how mindset changes can help you adapt to this new environment. Six core practices to dramatically improve your mental health. Testimonials: "As a clinical psychologist, I read lots of self-help books. Most of them don't impress me. Karissa's book is different. It paints a clear pathway from panic attacks, anxiety, and failed relationships to a fearless life that reflects your true values. Even a cursory read makes it obvious Karissa knows what she's talking about and has experienced all the problems she covers. Her tools are both science-based - including methods used in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness - as well as authentic. I wholeheartedly recommend this book if you are struggling with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, or fear" (Dr. Katariina, clinical psychologist, Trauma expert, and award-winning writer). "Highly relate-able as she tells her story honestly ... the real gem was the third section with many mindfulness and mindset tools you can use straight away. If you need to shift your mindset, then this is a good book for you." (Sam Adkins, Anxiety Specialist). "Karissa Wessel has done it! She has taken her very personal, raw, and empowering story and made it a tool to help as many who read her book? Do you have anxiety? Read it. Do you have panic attacks? Read it. Do you allow fear to control your immobility of moving forward and claiming life as yours? Read it. It's really that simple folks, Read the book, and empower yourself." (Christine Alexandria, angelchatter.com). Your mind controls your emotional reality. By now you may understand that your symptoms have everything to do with how your brain learned, in childhood, to relate to fear. This book will help you realize the simple truth - fear is not real. This awareness will help you overcome your depression and anxiety, change your brain, and take control of your life.

We’ve been led to believe that when we get sick, it’s our genetics. Or it’s just bad luck—and doctors alone hold the keys to optimal health. For years, Lissa Rankin, M.D., believed the same. But when her own health started to suffer, and she turned to Western medical treatments, she found that they not only failed to help; they made her worse. So she decided to take matters into her own hands. Through her research, Dr. Rankin discovered that the health care she had been taught to practice was missing something crucial: a recognition of the body’s innate ability to self-repair and an appreciation for how we can control these self-healing mechanisms with the power of the mind. In an attempt to better understand this phenomenon, she explored peer-reviewed medical literature and found evidence that the medical establishment had been proving that the body can heal itself for over 50 years. Using extraordinary cases of spontaneous healing, Dr. Rankin shows how thoughts, feelings, and beliefs can alter the body’s physiology. She lays out the scientific data proving that loneliness, pessimism, depression, fear, and anxiety damage the body, while intimate relationships, gratitude, meditation, sex, and authentic self-expression flip on the body’s self-healing processes. In the final section of the book, you’ll be introduced to a radical new wellness model based on Dr. Rankin’s scientific findings. Her unique six-step program will help you uncover where things might be out of whack in your life—spiritually, creatively, environmentally, nutritionally, and in your professional and personal relationships—so that you can create a customized treatment plan aimed at bolstering these health-promoting pieces of your life. You’ll learn how to listen to your body’s "whispers" before they turn to life-threatening "screams" that can be prevented with proper self-care, and you’ll learn how to trust your inner guidance when making decisions about your health and your life. By the time you finish Mind Over Medicine, you’ll have made your own Diagnosis, written your own Prescription, and created a clear action plan designed to help you make your body ripe for miracles.

"Kick bad mental habits and toughen yourself up."—Inc. Master your mental strength—revolutionary new strategies that work for everyone from homemakers to soldiers and teachers to CEOs. Everyone knows that regular exercise and weight training lead to physical strength. But how do we strengthen ourselves mentally for the truly tough times? And what should we do when we face these challenges? Or as psychotherapist Amy Morin asks, what should we avoid when we encounter adversity? Through her years counseling others and her own experiences navigating personal loss, Morin realized it is often the habits we cannot break that are holding us back from true success and happiness. Indulging in self-pity, agonizing over things beyond our control, obsessing over past events, resenting the achievements of others, or expecting immediate positive results holds us back. This list of things mentally strong people don't do resonated so much with readers that when it was picked up by Forbes.com it received ten million views. Now, for the first time, Morin expands upon the thirteen things from her viral post and shares her tried-and-true practices for increasing mental strength. Morin writes with searing honesty, incorporating anecdotes from her work as a college psychology instructor and psychotherapist as well as personal stories about how she bolstered her own mental strength when tragedy threatened to consume her. Increasing your mental strength can change your entire attitude. It takes practice and hard work, but with Morin's specific tips, exercises, and troubleshooting advice, it is possible to not only fortify your mental muscle but also drastically improve the quality of your life.
