Acupressure for Emotional Healing

by Michael Reed Gach, PhD and Beth Ann Henning

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

Featuring step-by-step instructions illustrated with more than 400 photographs and line drawings, this fascinating book covers techniques to relieve more than twenty emotional problems, including: abandonment, addiction, anger, anxiety, chronic fatigue, codependency, depression, emotional numbness, fear, grief, guilt, jealousy, mood swings, panic, resentment, sexual abuse, shame, stress and worry.
