I only wanted to write about one book during the 12 Days of Christmas and it is healing without freud or prozac.

I will have talked about that in my blogs several times before I’m sure (can’t remember).

But it was one of the most important books that I have ever read.

It was given to me when I was struggling years ago by a friend of mine who knew what it was like to struggle and it changed my perspective on many things.

David Servan-Schreiber was pretty much a genius.

He was a psychiatrist from France who then set up a psychiatric unit in America but treated people in a different way after he had watched modern psychiatry not be as effective as he wanted.

He investigated fish oils and diet and sleep and conflict resolution and techniques through rapid eye movement and many other things. He then took them to the Balkan States to work with women who had been “ethnically cleansed”.

How do you heal someone who’s watched their husband and son be murdered in front of them before they were raped? Servan-Schreiber tried to find a way.

He tragically died in 2011 of a brain tumour, but his book lives on for all of us and any of us who have read it.

It is the most common book I have ever handed out in gifts because it was so important to me and it was given to me as a gift.

Just in case Christmas isn’t a time where you rejoice, I look forward to the year ahead with excitement.

You might want to try and get hold of this and read it and then apply some of what is in it.

It would be hard to say that it wouldn’t make you a little bit better.
