Second Sight: An Intuitive Psychiatrist Tells Her Extraordinary Story and Shows You How to Tap Your Own Inner Wisdom
(Three Rivers Press, 2010)
Have you ever had an inexplicable prompting to get an ache or pain checked out—maybe even in a dream—only to find out that there was an important health concern at its root? Author Judith Orloff, MD, knows the power of intuition: she went to medical school based on a dream, and has since challenged the medical system’s skeptical attitude toward intuition and its role in health. Orloff explains that intuition is one of the mind-body’s most powerful forms of communication, and that we ignore its nudges at our own risk. In her book, she teaches techniques for accessing our own “inner physician,” which includes recognizing the ways in which our bodies attempt to alert us to danger, how to learn from clues in our dreams, and how to access our own intuition to learn about our health. Orloff is a board-certified psychiatrist, and assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA. She is also the author of the New York Times bestseller Emotional Freedom (Harmony, 2009), and Dr. Judith Orloff’s Guide to Intuitive Healing (Random House, 2000).
