At ER with a POTS flare - heart rate is 180 at triage.

Nurse: “Are you fighting with your boyfriend sweetie?”

Me (somewhat indignant) “I don’t have a boyfriend. I have POTS”

Doctor: “Single? At your age? How come? You don’t want to be married?”

Somatic reappraisal, a new therapeutic approach gaining traction as an alternative to traditional talk therapy, can help us better understand how the language we use about our bodies—and its sensations—can shape how we feel, writes @MissTwrites.

[The Walrus @thewalrus]

A growing scientific understanding of the mind-body connection is proving that the way we heal from trauma is not typically by thinking our way out—such as in talk therapy—but “primarily within and through our bodies,” writes @MissTwrites.

@SnowHydro @thewalrus Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️

[The Walrus @thewalrus]

Researchers who study the effectiveness of different approaches to therapy must make a concerted effort to address the barriers preventing racialized women—a chronically underrepresented group—from participating in clinical trials, writes @MissTwrites.

Delighted to have this excerpt published in The Walrus! I don’t think we talk enough about the limitations of CBT.

Happy UK Pub Day to All In Her Head!! As a Very British Person (both in blood and in spirit) I am super excited to see my book travel across the pond! If you live in the UK and spot it in stores, I would love to hear from you 🥳

[Greystone Books @greystonebooks]

Published TODAY in the UK - All In Her Head: How Gender Bias Harms Women's Mental Health, by Misty Pratt (@MissTwrites). It's a provocative, personal book which explores how women experience mental health care differently than men - and lays out how the system must change.

[Misty Pratt, Writer @MissTwrites]

Thank you Sarah, for reading and reviewing!! These are great questions that I should answer in my Substack…once I can finally find time to write again 🙈

I thought my anxiety was genetic, says MISTY PRATT. Then I discovered why so many women are diagnosed with depression and given pills they don't need https://t.co/fPq7sk58wg
