‘Accessible, compassionate, and deeply insightful.’
It’s All in Your Head . . . and Also Your Neck, Back, and Gut explores the profound and often overlooked connection between the mind and the body, revealing how our beliefs, emotions, and subconscious patterns can deeply influence physical health.

Through a rich tapestry of real-life stories and accessible frameworks, readers will discover how stress and inner conflict manifest in the body, how to engage with the ‘inner child,’ the ‘feminine self,’ and other fragmented parts of the psyche, and how imagination and storytelling can become powerful pathways to deep and lasting healing. The book also examines the unique emotional burdens carried by healers and healthcare professionals, while emphasising the vital role of connection, community, and support networks in the healing process.
So, whether you are a therapist, healer, or someone on a healing journey, this book offers valuable insights and practical ways to help you understand your whole self and access healing that goes beyond the surface.

A lucrative connection between mind and body. This pre-therapeutic guide is a self-assessment checklist for every individual who is undergoing body ailments resulting from the abandoned psyche dumps. Although we offload the bad energies from our minds, our body retains a copy of these omens in our respective body parts, which makes the recuperation pace substantially sluggish.
With her hypnotherapy expertise, Dr. Shalini offers pivotal tools not to FIX, but to understand what our body tries to convey to us. Through this book, she rightly emphasizes the importance of understanding physical sensations, symptoms, and patterns that our body channels to communicate with us. While each of us strives to rebuild broken relationships and heal shattered affinities, Dr. Shalini highlights the need to rejuvenate the connection between the body, mind, and soul.
With the central theme of understanding the HUMAN BODY, Dr. Shalini presents this work in THREE distinct chunks. Each section carries its own elemental depth and significance, spreading awareness all the way from recognition to renewal. There are truly zowie moments for every reader. Beyond physical and emotional patterns, Dr. Shalini also speaks about the significance of the spiritual dimension in observing the healing motif and acting upon it, while she aptly refers to the body as a "constellation" comprising many components, including the "Inner Child", the "Achiever", and the "Wounded Protector", and their purposeful integration.
With a bunch of tips, tricks, and techniques, Dr. Shalini shares her expertise as a clinical psychologist and spiritual mentor for the benefit of every reader on the journey of self-healing. She helps readers realize the importance of channeling physical well-being and understanding subconscious patterns, emotions, and beliefs to bridge the gap between mind and body. This book is truly the need of the hour, as we(most of us) are on a journey of mental convalescence.
