Veteran physical therapist and clinical hypnotherapist Ruth E. Smith, PT, CHt, offers a fresh perspective to holistic healing
ROSEBURG, Ore., April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With over 30 years of experience in physical therapy, author Ruth E. Smith, PT, CHt, has witnessed the evolving recognition of mind-body-spirit integration in patient care. Ready to share her research and insights, she invites readers to take an active role in their recovery through the power of self-hypnosis, founded in her new book, "Without Boundaries: Optimizing Physical Recovery with Self-Hypnosis: A Mind-Body-Spirit Approach."
In the book, readers will learn new strategies to supplement physical therapy action plans by emphasizing the importance of belief, language, mindfulness, and imagination in the healing process.
Smith introduces self-hypnosis as a "power tool" for recovery as it naturally incorporates these four key mental faculties. The book serves as a guide and workbook, encouraging and equipping readers with principles and protocols to become proficient in self-hypnosis and maximize their healing potential.
"I've seen firsthand how the mind and spirit influence the healing process," Smith said. "My book guides readers in understanding the framework of self-hypnosis and its role in physical recovery."
Through awareness exercises and step-by-step techniques, Smith aims to empower readers to integrate mind-body-spirit healing as a lending hand to achieve their physical goals. Whether recovering from an injury or seeking to optimize overall health, it's an opportunity to take control of their healing journey.
"Physical healing is more than just physical," Smith said. "It requires the alignment of mind, body, and spirit. These pages provide the tools to harness the power within and take an active role in your healing because you deserve more than a mediocre recovery."
