I know, the name is cheesy and the cover art makes it worse. If it could look a little less, I don't know, crazy right-brained hippy? then it might appeal to more people. But really, it's the concept of your emotions and your energy being tied to your body so much that your body reacts with sickness or illness that speaks to me. This book has helped me to overcome some old, unnecessary beliefs about myself, the world, and relationships. And has helped me to be more physically and emotionally healthy.

This book has some good nuggets, but it was boring. I made it 40% of the way then gave up. I’ve been reading (or not reading) it for 6 months. I definitely didn’t agree with all of the ideas in here either.

Karol Truman takes her extensive experience as a counselor, her well researched and applied use of psychoneuroimmunology, and adds an edge of Christian spiritualism from her faith - this makes for a highly applicable and practical communication of her (some might say unorthodox) methods. Ultimately, she gets about as close as you can to describing spiritual warfare in psychophysiological terms, without flat out saying good and evil or angels and demons.

Though she says her "script" isn't a prayer, but I find her definition of prayer to be a narrow modernist one - as far as I can tell, it's a liturgical prayer to the Holy Spirit to reveal and heal your sins and the death caused by sins of others. Very well laid out and worth memorizing.

Some might be put off by the new age terminology or sometimes implicit support of prosperity gospel teaching, but anyone who can look past those quibbles will be blessed by a framework and language for connecting mental and physical health - useful as both reading and reference.

This is a valuable read. I received a clear understanding of what occurs when we suppress, repress and simply not properly address and heal from certain feelings. The book itself is a great resource and provided resources as well. The script was transformative. I'm able to recognize what I'm feeling, why, and what feeling I want to replace it with.

I highly recommend this book and it's companion.

This was a life changing book for me. The power of positive thinking can be scientifically proven to affect our lives!! It talks about healing, forgiving, etc. I loved it and it is one of my new very very very favorite books.

This book has been an extremely powerful book in my life. I learned that my feelings were important, and that I could let my feelings mean something. It began my journey of learning about emotions, and years later, I refer to this book often. I teach classes on emotional health, and how important it is to understand our feelings. I credit this book with being very important on that path.

Great exercises (if you do them) for clearing out blocks and old baggage

I first found this book using the flip book reference cards. Useful, but I didn’t fully grasp what all was going on. It was filing and very interesting and useful, but I was curious for more details.

So I bought the print version of the complete book. Did not love it. Like at all. Returned it the same week.

But the more I used the flip book, the more the curiosity for details persisted. So I bought the audiobook and started listening.

COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE. Loved it. Super interesting and compelling.

Then I bought the ebook to mark up what I was listening to in the audiobook.

Basically I’m a huge fan now. The principles work when I give them full intent. And it is glorious to discover, acknowledge, and process releasing past emotions held consciously or subconsciously. Not woo-woo. Real things.

Try it. What do you have to lose?

One of the best resource books I have ever found to help discover and resolve hidden stresses. I love her checklists and use them all the time in testing myself and others for where we need help.

I keep this book with me at all times. I saved my life 20 years ago and still keeps me sane.

July 2, 2013: After the recommendation given by several friends on how good this book is, I finally read it. And now I am going to have to buy my own copy! I love how the author correlates health with feelings, and then offers a wonderful tool to process feelings. I expect to find a lot of empowerment from following her "Script".

December 10, 2015: I am still loving and using the Script. Such a powerful resource for health and healing!
