A Self-Care Guide for Trauma, Stress & Common Emotional Imbalances

Emotional healing at your fingertips

Long known for its ability to alleviate physical pain, the ancient healing art of acupressure also relieves stress and emotional pain. From day-to-day pressures to life’s most significant trials, traumatic events cause the body to shut down and keep negative feelings “stuck,” resulting in physical ailments and emotional imbalances. Acupressure – which uses the finger to stimulate the same points targeted in acupuncture – releases this muscular tension and restores the flow of vital energy, making resolution possible.

In this indispensable book, two of the leading acupressure practitioners in America show how to locate vital points and apply pressure effectively so that self-healing can be part of your daily routine. Featuring step-by-step instructions illustrated with more than 400 photographs and line drawings, Acupressure for Emotional Healing covers more than twenty conditions, including:

• Abandonment & Codependency
• Addictions
• Anger, Jealousy & Resentment
• Anxiety & Panic Attacks
• Chronic Fatigue & Fibromyalgia
• Depression
• Emotional Numbness
• Grief & Fear
• Guilt & Shame
• Mood Swings
• Sexual Abuse
• Worry & Self-Doubt
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Stress & the Emotions

Acupressure works anytime, anywhere, without side effects or special equipment. Complete with guidelines for a supportive diet, and integrating stretches, imagery, breathing exercises, and affirmation with acupressure, this unique resource enables you to take a vital role in healing your past and achieving a sense of well-being.
