Autoimmune Survival Guide Support for people suffering from autoimmune and other trauma-driven conditions

Autoimmune conditions are on the rise, with more and more people, young and old, experiencing the frustrating and debilitating symptoms of conditions that seem to be difficult to diagnose and even more difficult to treat with conventional medicine alone. Trauma and prolonged stress in particular disrupt healthy body-functioning and can trigger or exacerbate autoimmune and other similar conditions. Those affected by chronic fatigue syndrome, Hashimoto’ s, lupus, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune conditions often feel helpless and disheartened by their fluctuating symptoms and the havoc they wreak on their lives, impacting their work and relationships.

Malvina Bartmanski is a clinical psychologist who uses an integrative approach in her practice where she is constantly reminded of the link between body and mind. Those afflicted with mental health difficulties regularly display physical symptoms, and vice versa. She has worked with many clients with mysterious health difficulties and has experienced her own health journey with autoimmunity. This book draws on her experience in her psychology practice, which attracts many people affected by autoimmune conditions, and her own experience in trying to relieve and master her health symptoms.
