How One Woman’s Struggle with Depression and Illness Led to Self Expression and Healing

Amy Scher is the best-selling author of How to Heal Yourself From Depression When No One Else Can, How to Heal Yourself from Anxiety, How to Heal Yourself When No One Else Can and This Is How I Save My Life. Her work has been translated into 16 different languages and nationally recognized by The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, CNN, CBS, New York Daily News, The Los Angeles Review of Books, The Rumpus and more. As an energy therapist and teacher, Amy guides her clients to reconnect with the spark inside that knows they are worthy of healing. 

In today’s episode, Shay Beider welcomes Amy Scher to talk about her personal health journey and how she came to find energy therapy as a tool for her own healing process. Amy shares with us that her path towards health and healing “didn’t come lightly and it didn’t come easily, it came because I came to it when I needed it most.” She encourages each of us to take accountability for our own health and to participate in the active creation of our lives. Amy shares three universal promises that we must make to ourselves on our healing journey: tell yourself the truth, lighten up, and take action!
