A Powerful Guide for Overcoming the Emerging Emotional Challenge of Our Turbulent Times.
 
A rising number of people today are troubled by a phenomenon for which they don’t know there’s a name. This condition is called emotional inflammation—a state not unlike post-traumatic stress, but one that stems from simply living in today’s tumultuous world. If you’ve suffered from sleep problems, hyperreactivity, persistent grief, or inescapable worry about the future—especially triggered by the nonstop news cycle—then you’re probably dealing with emotional inflammation. The good news is: there’s something you can do about it. 
 
Using the RESTORE Method for Your Unique Reactivity Type
 
With Emotional Inflammation, general and forensic psychiatrist Dr. Lise Van Susteren joins writer Stacey Colino to present a breakthrough guide for addressing this uniquely modern affliction. You’ll begin by determining your “reactor type” to better understand how your body and mind respond to stress overload. Then you’ll learn the vital steps of the RESTORE program for recovering balance, resilience, and joy in your life.
 
You can’t always control the crises and catastrophes that are swirling around you. But that doesn't mean you need to be at their mercy. This unabridged audio of Emotional Inflammation is an invaluable guide to help you cope with the challenges of a turbulent world; calm your body and mind; and reclaim a sense of peace, purpose, and connection to others.
The RESTORE Program:
• Recognize Your Feelings: identify, unpack, and learn from difficult emotions          
• Evaluate Your Triggers: what sets you off and how to stop it
• Steady Your Body’s Natural Rhythms: recover your healthy internal equilibrium
• Think Yourself into a Safe Space: how to remain flexible and adaptable
• Obey Your Body: self-care practices for diet, exercise, and stress management  
• Reclaim the Gifts of Nature: revitalize your connection to the natural world
• Exercise Your Power: become an “upstander” who takes action with compassion, hope, and love

      Psychiatrist Van Susteren (Emotional Resiliency in the Era of Climate Change) and health writer Colino (Count Down) deliver in this cogent guide a plan to help individuals recognize triggers, plan ways to overcome them, and reestablish emotional and physical equilibrium. The authors write that pressures—work stress, gun violence, climate change—put everyone at risk for “emotional inflammation,” or biological distress responses to changing demands. To deal with these pressures, the authors recommend the RESTORE plan: recognize feelings, evaluate triggers, steady innate rhythms, obey signals, reclaim the gifts of nature, and exercise one’s power. They also offer advice on getting enough quality sleep, stepping away from social media, scheduling downtime, and exploring the natural world. While none of the ideas are groundbreaking, the authors’ wide scope and reassuring tone stand out: “The unfortunate truth is this: We have been depriving ourselves of natural remedies that are readily available. While they’re not necessarily easy to make habitual, they are simple to initiate.” These restorative tactics are great self-care starting points.
