94 - Who Heals & Who Doesn't - Qualitative Research - Douglas Guiffrida, PhD

If you have ever wondered for who and under what conditions people heal (or don't) from mind body syndrome/ psychophysiologic disorders, then this podcast is for you!

For me, the fascinating part of this conversation is discuss why people *don't heal.

Douglas Guiffrida has done qualitative research around this very subject. After he did the study, he discovered the following to be of importance: belief of mind body connection, willingness to experience & express emotions, and do the homework. He also discovered the importance of secondary gains.
