About the Authors
Michael A. Jawer is an emotion researcher and expert on "sick building syndrome." He is the coauthor, with Marc Micozzi, of The Spiritual Anatomy of Emotion. He lives in Vienna, Virginia. Marc S. Micozzi is adjunct professor of physiology and biophysics at Georgetown University School of Medicine.
“Your Emotional Type, securely grounded in scientific research
affirming the inseparable unity of mind and body, enables readers
to understand how their own personalities may make them prone to a
wide variety of health conditions, from chronic fatigue to
hypertension, from migraine to fibromyalgia. Most helpfully, the
authors guide people to the therapies most appropriate to each
personality type. The book is empowering, helping us to become
active agents in our healing rather than being simply the
recipients of ‘cures’ from a medical approach that fails to
recognize the uniqueness of individuals.”
*Gabor Maté, M.D., author of When The Body Says No: Exploring the
Stress-Disease Connection*
“Your Emotional Type is a very useful guide for anyone in search of
therapies best suited to their bodymind type, their style of
handing strong feelings, and the nature of their health problems.
In particular, the thin-to-thick boundary scale--a unique window on
personality type--offers a valuable framework for helping people
choose among the array of complementary and alternative
therapies.”
*Deane Juhan, author of Job’s Body: A Handbook for Bodywork*
“There is a ton of resources given so that it would be fairly easy
to follow-up and find what is going to work best for you. This is a
great handbook that will be useful to anyone working with chronic
conditions. Perfect gift for therapists, physicians, body workers,
and for people with various conditions.”
*New Spirit Journal, December 2011*
“This is a break-through book which heralds the next growth phase
in alternative treatment and wellness.”
*Anna Jedrzieski, Retailing Insights, December 2011*
“A convincing guide meant to supplement professional medical
care”
*Betty-Lee Fox, Library Journal, January 2012*
“...an interesting hybrid: a science-based book, back-end loaded
with references, that is also self-help and filled with useful
resources.”
*Integrative Medicine, January 2012*
“With very clear and concise language, this book will give all
those who read it a running start to find the correct therapy to
help heal themselves, thereby saving important and sometimes
crucial time.”
*Dhara Lemos, Lotus Guide, January 2012*
“Your Emotional Type is a wake-up call for those who are stuck in
stubborn emotional prisons of fear, anger, resentment, regret, and
self-destruction.”
*Spirituality & Practice, January 2012*
“In a field that’s filled with self-help and therapy books, Your
Emotional Type stands out as a special gift, succinct with great
clarity and bringing to those in need a more direct and realistic
route to their personal therapeutic salvation.”
*The Amazing Kreskin*
“Your Emotional Type may be the Rosetta Stone we’ve been waiting
for--a code for matching a particular therapy to a particular
patient. Micozzi and Jawer . . . have found gold.”
*Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Healing Words: The Power of Prayer
and the Practice of Medicine and Th*
“By helping patients understand the connection between their
personality type, their symptoms, and treatment choices, Jawer and
Micozzi help patients become more informed consumers of alternative
health care.”
*Ilene A. Serlin, psychologist and dance/movement therapist*
“Micozzi has first-hand experience with the connection between
emotional type and chronic illness as he suffered from a chronic
condition and effectively resolved it with alternative therapies
based on his emotional boundary type. If you suffer from a chronic
condition, this short book filled with helpful advice is worth a
try.”
*Kristy Musalo, New Connexion, June 2012*
“Your Emotional Type is a valuable contribution to the healing arts
and self–care literature. Along with their previous book, The
Spiritual Anatomy of Emotion, it deserves a wide readership.”
*Daniel Redwood, Health Insights Today, August 2012*
“. . . a simple, practical, and useful guide to help doctors and
their patients identify the major alternative therapies that will
work best for each person.”
*Kenneth R. Pelletier, Ph.D., M.D., clinical professor of medicine,
University of Arizona and Univers*
“Easy to read and articulate, Your Emotional Type could become an
important and clinically useful work.”
*Ernest Hartmann, M.D., professor of psychiatry, Tufts University
School of Medicine, and author of B*
“A much-needed guide to the fundamental connection between emotions
and common physical and mental ailments--and what to do about
them.”
*Miriam Greenspan, therapist in private practice and author of
Healing Through the Dark Emotions*
