Known as the Connections Paradigm, the millennia-old method has been empirically shown to alleviate symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. After being passed down from generation to generation and tested in clinical settings with private clients, it is presented to a broad audience for the first time. \u003cbr\u003e The idea behind the paradigm is that at any given moment, human beings are either \"connected\" or \"disconnected\" across three key relationships. To be \"connected\" means to be in a loving, harmonious, and fulfilling relationship; to be \"disconnected\" means, of course, the opposite. The three relationships are those between our souls and our bodies, ourselves and others, and ourselves and God. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These relationships are hierarchal; each depends on the one that precedes it. This means that we can only connect with God to the extent that we associate with others, and we cannot connect with others if we don't connect with ourselves. The author, Dr. David H. Rosmarin, devotes a section to each relationship and describes techniques and practices to become a more connected individual. He also brings in compelling stories from his clinical practice to show the process in action. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Whether you're a clinician working with clients, or a person seeking the healing balm of wisdom; whether you're a member of the Jewish faith, or a person open to new spiritual perspectives, you will find this book sensible, practical, and timely because, for all of us, connection leads to mental health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e David H.
