Making Friends with Your Own Body

This book is a joy to read. It encourages even those without psychological training to reflect on how expert guidance can help patients with chronic psychosomatic pain. The author’s warm and engaging style makes complex topics accessible. A must-read for anyone interested in understanding the mind-body connection.

The author’s goal is to help therapists encourage their patients to live life with ease. Drawing from real-life experiences, the book offers simple, relatable, and meaningful examples. Hanne Seemann illustrates psychosomatic connections through clear and understandable case studies, making solutions feel natural and intuitive.

Tools like trance and hypnosis are used. While the early chapters explain foundational concepts, this is not a textbook for finding standardized solutions. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of individuality and even the role of chance in therapy.
