Why should we put our past behind us? We all know that it can make us happier, but it turns out there are additional health benefits to overcoming past traumas. In his new book, Making Peace with your Past, Dr. Harold Bloomfield cites research supporting the link between putting the past to rest and disease of the body, and he outlines a step-plan to help you do it.Despite writing several books on personal development, Dr. Bloomfield considers this one the most important because of the ample research suggesting that overcoming adverse experiences benefits you both emotionally and psychically.
