Harlene Goldschmidt: Eastern Healing for the Western Mind, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Eastern Healing for the Western Mind is a practical, science-informed guide to mind-body health that bridges qigong (a time-honored Chinese healing practice) with Western psychotherapy, neuroscience, and contemporary psychology . Designed for clinicians, educators, and wellness-minded readers, the book translates Eastern philosophy into relatable language while grounding key concepts in modern models of emotional regulation-including polyvagal theory, affect regulation, and neuropsychological perspectives on safety, trust, and embodiment .
Dr. Harlene Goldschmidt, a clinical psychologist and qigong teacher , serves as an experienced guide moving between cultures and disciplines to help Western readers overcome skepticism and confidently integrate qigong into therapeutic and self-care contexts. Each chapter pairs clear explanations with easy-to-learn regulating practices for mind, body, and spirit, supported by a structured practice guide and teaching modules that build skill through both understanding and direct experience.
By combining evidence-based insights with accessible guided exercises, Intimate Exchanges helps readers develop mind-body awareness , strengthen self-regulation , reduce the impact of stress, and cultivate emotional stability and inner peace-offering an empowering, noninvasive pathway to resilient wellbeing.
