Listen as Jenny shares how chronic inflammation shows up in our body as extreme fatigue, depression, aches, and pains and even bloating. It’s a fact that over 40% of the U.S. population is diagnosed with chronic inflammation. Can you imagine how many are suffering and don’t even know it?

It’s maddening when you hear others claim their aches and pains are due to “just aging” and settle with a life of pain and discomfort. There is a very vicious cycle that happens when stress, anxiety or depression enters the picture. Any of these will increase inflammation and this inflammation increases your stress!

This episode of Graceful Healing is full of information and insight into your mind, body, and spirit. 

Today Michele and I have a heart to heart discussion about why it's so darn hard to ask for help. Why is that?

Is this a fairly new phenomenon or something that's been around for a long time but we're just now talking about it?

Could it be cultural?

No matter what the reasons there seem to be many reasons why it's so hard to ask for help!!!

Clinical psychologist, Dr. Ellen Hendriksen states that "Asking for help can turn the most self-assured, square-shouldered among us into a nail-biting mess.  We may cast about vague wishes to no one in particular, blame others for our woes, or procrastinate until our problem has become an emergency.  You’d think asking for help would be preferable to all this misery, but taking action is tough for almost everyone."

Why is that?

Some of the things we discussed are: 

• People love to help others!
• We fear to admit that we're out of control.
• Maybe you'll fear of being indebted or owing a favor?
• Do you fear to look weak?
• Maybe you are afraid of rejection...

We have such an interesting discussion for you today!!!

Cedric Bertelli is the founder and director of the Emotional Health Institute. 

He began his training in Emotional Resolution in 2009 in France. Cedric grew up in a tiny village in France with a population of 80 and always suffered from anxiety. Later he became a well known culinary expert for the Ritz Carlton Hotels. Currently, he is an expert in emotional health using the Emotional Resolution method. 

I'm in awe of what he's been able to accomplish in 10 short years!

At the core of Emotional Resolution is the belief that we are all born with the physiological ability to resolve our own emotions permanently. 

Most of us go through life, knowing we have difficulties and try various ways to meet them head-on. We all have tried many forms such as self-help techniques, professional help, or even self-medication. These may help for a time but only until there is another trigger to set the pattern back into motion. Triggers lead to disruptive emotional patterns: anger, stress, jealousy, phobias, anxiety, shame, avoidance, only to name a few.

According to Bertelli, "Neuroscientists are beginning to understand that the body is wired to permanently resolve dysfunctional and negative emotional patterns... if we only allow it to do its natural job!"

This is a fascinating discussion I know you don’t want to miss!
