I recently was interviewed on a podcast hosted by Raelan Agle. The topic was the role of repression of emotion both as a rarely noted or recognized contributor to our emotional resilience and as an unrecognized cause or contributor to medical illness.
There were over 2,900 views in the first 24 hours.

This award-winning book by Dr. Mann dives deep into the relationship between repressed emotion and illness. Our ability to repress emotions is a vital gift of evolution, but, silently, the emotions we've repressed do persist and can affect our health years later. This recognition can lead to new pathways to understanding, treatment, and healing.
