Caden’s Reviews > When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress > Status Update

I am learning sooooo much from this book. The concept of the biology of loss is especially interesting to me, and especially sad. 😢💔 We gotta manage our stress levels, team.

“Emotional competence is what we need to develop if we are to protect ourselves from the hidden stresses that create a risk to health, and it is what we need to regain if we are to heal … We need to foster emotional competence in our children as the best preventive medicine.” 👈 I love this!

“The more we can learn about ourselves, the less prone we are to become passive victims.” 😲 (On the topic of the mind-body link.)

As I ready myself to begin grad school and become a therapist, I know that this book—and others like it!—will help me prepare to work in my field. I’ll share more insights here… ❤️‍🩹
