Seven natural treatments for stress-related disorders are presented in this guide to help readers move beyond traditional drugs and therapy by tapping into the emotional brain's self-healing processes. This ability to self-treat, rather than fall into a trap of drug prescriptions and therapy, originated with the emotional brain from which instincts, strengths, and innate identity originate. Benefits of alternative treatments such as acupuncture, dawn simulation, heart coherence, and nutrition for anxiety and depression are also documented, as are the reasons that they remain poorly understood and largely excluded from mainstream medicine and psychiatry.
