Wow! Pat--this is the VERY FIRST "fan" letter of the new book!!! It makes me feel so great that it was helpful to a sophisticated therapist like you. The truth is there is so much out there that mainstream folks are unaware of…

Is the book out in Canada already? The publish date is Oct 1(??).

How would you feel if I posted this exchange on my new blog on the website (www.CandacePert.com)? Do I have your permission?

My Best,

Candace

From a beneficiary of your work

Dear Dr. Pert,

I have been a fan of yours ever since I first read Molecules of Emotion in 2004. At that time I don't think I fully understood the potential of your message, then I discovered What the Bleep, which I think is great as an introduction to the possibility of Quantum physics in everyday life. Now I follow your career and read everything of yours I can get my hands on!

I have just finished reading Everything You Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d. Thank you for your courage to speak your own truth as it meant so much to me as I travel my journey paying attention to creating the kind of healthy life I want to be living. Putting affirmations in place, as you suggested, as well as changing the message in my head about an allergic reaction I was having created healing almost overnight! I knew I could heal myself but lacked the confidence to step fully into my own power to heal myself until I read your book. The style of the book was so powerful for me I know it will be a re-read "must". I also really identified with what you were saying about worth, esteem in my selves and living with the expectation that I deserved great things in my life. I haven't yet figured out all the early trauma that I am carrying in my body and I will keep on keeping on figuring it out so I am living my life in the fullest possible way!

I have already recommended your book to family, friends and clients in my counseling psychology practice. I just wanted to write to you so that you will hear from an ordinary person about what a difference you are making in my life as I am sure you are to so many others! Please keep doing what you are doing...

Nameste,
