Is Your Skin Problem All In Your Head?
I've tried numerous different treatments which my dermatologist proposed. No luck with any of them. It gets downright depressing after awhile!
I'm a big believer in the mind/body connection, so when I came across this website for Dr. Ted Grossbart who treats the "mental" side of skin problems, I couldn't help but get pretty excited! The first thing I had to do was buy his book. It's very inexpensive and has some wonderful information. Regardless of your situation, I highly recommend you read the book.
Skin Deep: A Mind/Body Program for Healthy Skin
When you think about it, it does make sense that a lot of our emotions and "issues", are expressed through our skin.
- When you get embarrassed, your skin flushes and turns red. - When you get scared, you get "goosebumps".So it wouldn't be impossible to believe that your skin is the outlet for pent up anger, stress, fears, emotional trauma, etc.
Dr. Grossbart does a wonderful job of leading you and helping you discover if your problems may be "all in your head".
Currently reading the book but I intend to go back and read it a second time and do a much better job of performing the exercises he teaches you.
Great book! You must get it! I guarantee you will learn some very interesting things about yourself and your skin!
