Up to one in three GP visits involve these very symptoms. Yet most people who experience them have never heard the term, let alone found a clear path forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf course these days, we know so much more about how the mind and body are inseparable. In this special webinar, Dr Gillian Deakin — GP, researcher, 50-year meditation practitioner, and author of What the Hell is Wrong with Me? — brings these two worlds together in a conversation that could change how you understand health, healing, and your own inner practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from over 40 years of medical practice and decades of personal meditation, Dr Deakin’s book is the toolkit that patients with unexplained symptoms have long been waiting for. Using the lens of the body’s seven stress response systems, she reframes “unexplained” symptoms not as mysteries but as disruptions in the body’s software — disruptions that, with the right understanding and tools, can be healed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePraised by patients, GPs, and international specialists alike as “clear, warm, and actionable,” the book outlines a six-step recovery path that integrates cutting-edge neuroscience with the ancient wisdom of mind–body practices — including meditation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou might want to dip into her book before the session.
