Blurb (from Amazon): "Our brains do their best to help us out, but every so often they can be real assholes―having melt downs, getting addicted to things, or shutting down completely at the worst possible moments. Your brain knows it’s not good to do these things, but it can’t help it sometimes―especially if it’s obsessing about trauma it can’t overcome. That’s where this life-changing book comes in.
"With humor, patience, science, and lots of good-ole swearing, Dr. Faith explains what’s going on in your skull, and talks you through the process of retraining your brain to respond appropriately to the non-emergencies of everyday life, and to deal effectively with old, or newly acquired, traumas (particularly post-traumatic stress disorder)."
Opinion: Not everyone will appreciate her approach but it is structured around retraining your brain when faced with any sort of trauma or "negative" emotion. It seems like a good supplement to talk therapy and a good starting point if you're looking for a new way to deal with your emotions.
