Overview

""Open-minded readers will find Guellati-Salcedo's extensive, often eye-opening work a welcome challenge to conventional ideas about healing."" -BookLife, Publishers Weekly What if healing is not about fixing what is broken, but understanding what the body is trying to say? Expanded Awareness: A Health Psychologist's Journey Beyond the Mind-Body Duality invites you to reconsider how you think about symptoms, illness, and recovery. Blending scientific insight with lived experience, it offers a multidimensional view of healing-one that honors biology, intention, energy, and consciousness. Drawing from health psychology, functional medicine, energy science, and systems-thinking approaches, the book explores how the interaction of mind, body, spirit, and energy systems shapes our internal terrain. It reframes symptoms as signals, coherence as a foundation for healing, and consciousness as an active force in the transformation process. Rather than offering a fixed protocol or one-size-fits-all model, this book encourages inquiry, agency, and a deeper engagement with the meaning behind physical experience. It highlights the limitations of conventional models and presents a more systems-based view-one that supports personalized approaches to healing and helps readers move from diagnosis to empowered action. Grounded in a health psychologist's perspective, Expanded Awareness bridges research, personal insight, and integrative frameworks to challenge inherited assumptions and open new possibilities for healing. If you have ever sensed that healing is more than managing symptoms-that it involves rethinking the terrain itself-this book offers a coherent and accessible foundation. It is an invitation to move beyond reductionist thinking and toward a model that honors the intelligence of the body and the complexity of the human experience.

""Congratulations to Sophie on her new book! It's really a masterful weaving of mind and body."" -Deanna Minich, Ph.D., internationally recognized teacher, author, and scientist in the fields of Nutrition and Functional Medicine

""Congratulations to Sophie on her new book! It's really a masterful weaving of mind and body."" -Deanna Minich, Ph.D., internationally recognized teacher, author, and scientist in the fields of Nutrition and Functional Medicine In Expanded Awareness: A Health Psychologist's Journey Beyond the Mind-Body Duality, Dr. Guellati-Salcedo presents an absolute master class on healing but not by regurgitating long-held, mainstream talking points. Instead, she takes readers on a deep exploration of provocative ideas and concepts that, not terribly long ago, would have been discarded as magical thinking. Without throwing the baby out with the bathwater, Guellati-Salcedo's masterful presentation bridges the gap between the current medical model-with its physical focus on symptoms and symptom relief-and a metaphysical, holistic approach, incorporating often-maligned concepts, such as epigenetics, consciousness, and energy. But lest you believe this is just another book about wishful thinking, the author-who holds a doctorate in health psychology-presents anecdotes, evidence, resources, and references that offer a foundation of understanding, satisfying skeptics, while providing support to those who already work within this new paradigm. Whether you are a health-care provider or a layperson, Expanded Awareness is a rewarding read and a valuable reference for your library. -Dr. Allison Brown, award-winning author, editor, publisher, and quantum healer. This was a good read. Expanded Awareness is something probably everyone needs, and this book is sure to deliver. ​​​​​​​-Michael Michelsen, Freelance Journalist, Award-Winning Writer, Publicist.
