Dr. Bresler's understanding of health and the human psyche is respected in both conventional and alternative medical circles. He asserts that the natural expression of emotion is often suppressed by the family and society, and if not recognized and dealt with, it may lead to serious health problems, including depression. By directly accessing emotions through guided imagery, biofeedback, and other mind/body techniques, the individual can begin to understand the needs that may be represented by an illness, and then develop healthy ways to meet those needs.
