by Stephanie Mines

We Are All in Shock provides the tools for reclaiming complete well-being after overwhelming experiences of shock, trauma, or PTSD whether caused by the massive sweep of current events or a personal catastrophe.

This one has another mixed review. There is some language that is inappropriate and offensive and needs to be changed, but this book hasn't been updated in nearly 20 years. (That's no excuse for the language, but rather a sign that it likely won't be fixed.)
I learned so much about energy medicine and how to work towards healing for myself and others! I was so excited to try it out that I walked many friends and family members through the practice over the phone to see if they saw any results. While the impacts were small, they make me hopeful that continued practice will have significant effects!
I recommend the lessons in this book to those who want to learn about how energy medicine can help them reach emotional, physical, and mental wellness.

This book was a beautiful read. I was expecting a lot of over my head type explanations and instead I was pleasantly surprised by how beautifully it was written. It really has given me hope for a better future than I had been imaging. The author continually mentions that these “flows” could be part of any emergency response teams protocol and make a difference. I agree. A read I highly recommend.

An excellent book. Very informative, and illuminating about both the state of humanity and how we can heal. Full of hope and compassion.
