It is an interesting title that draws you in but also the kind of title that rides on a successful concept. Dr Retherford is a medical doctor who over time has figured out the mind-body connection and gives many examples of how seemingly physical issues were cured by dealing with the damaging emotions that lay underneath.
Angry at someone? Scared of something? Cannot say No to someone? Feel trapped? Feel suffocated? Do not like the move? Feel unloved? Do not want a situation? - your body has a way of dealing with things you deeply do not ant but outwardly cannot handle because you are conflicted. Do not worry because your subconscious steps in and hands you an illness which serves as an excuse not to do that. The idea is not to fall sick every time but to recognise that there could be a deeper reason and not just a physical one - one that is rooted in your deep belief systems.
The good doctor proves time and again in many situations how patients have come to him with seemingly physical problems. Like the man who had this crazy back pain which stopped him from going to work. When nothing worked, the doctor delved deeper and found that this patient had been the butt of ridicule at his work place after he had been bitten by a cat (which he rescued by the way). Or the lasy who had this severe infection on the nose that would not go away come what may - she had a speech to give in some event and was trying her best to avoid it.
Dr Retherford prescribes a more open manner of healing oneself other than merely taking medicines. Many illnesses are manifestations of our deepest beliefs, fears and apprehensions.By seeing a therapist and identifying those issues, you can easily lead a far healthier and wholesome life.
