You Should Be Better tells the true story of Maura’s journey navigating life after a concussion. After her acute injuries healed, Maura continued to suffer from chronic symptoms for many years including hyperacusis (sound sensitivity), tinnitus (ear ringing), hives, and anxiety. When traditional approaches failed to bring lasting relief, Maura became determined to explore the root causes of symptoms to truly be better.

After working with medical practitioners who emphasized mindfulness and mindbody practices, Maura explored and accepted that her chronic symptoms were perpetuated by repressed emotions, certain personality traits, and a deep fear of sound. Through consistent mindbody practices, she ultimately uncovered a deeper sense of self and the understanding that she possessed the power within to be better.

Through this book, you will be introduced to the science and research behind the brain-body connection and will learn about a wide variety of tools and practices. This approach to healing can help both those who are struggling with chronic ailments and the people who love and support them. Healthcare professionals may find insights and tools to share with their patients who are looking for renewed hope.
