What is emotional inflammation?
According to Dr. Van Susteren’s book, it is a state not unlike post-traumatic stress disorder, which stems from simply living in our modern overwhelming and tumultuous world, which has only grown more so over the past year and a half. Learn to identify and explain emotional inflammation and its negative impact.
Who is vulnerable to this condition?
Many people, including physicians, do not even realize they suffer from this all-too-common phenomenon. Drs. Emanuel and Van Susteren discuss general and physician-specific triggers which spring up in response to stress overload.
How can you restore balance?
Dr. Van Susteren recommends the RESTORE method to combat emotional inflammation, recover inner balance and restore one’s effectiveness, resilience, and joy.
