SOLK - Saskia de Bruin

When your body speaks and no one understands it

Pain in muscles and joints, fatigue, tinnitus, chronic infections, mood problems – complaints that are certainly present, but for which no clear medical explanation can be found. MUS: Medically Unexplained Symptoms. Millions of people worldwide suffer from this, sometimes for years, without therapy or medication truly helping.

Feelings matter

By looking at emotions, stress, and trauma differently – and recognizing that these often underlie physical symptoms – recovery is possible. Saskia de Bruin also suffered from unexplained symptoms for years. Her search ultimately led her to her feelings. She discovered that physical symptoms can arise from deeply relevant emotions that we do not acknowledge, dare not express, and dare not feel. Do you want to buy SOLK? This unique copy is ready for you.

She met former neurologist Marten Klaver, who sees MUS not as misunderstood complaints, but as a dysregulation in the emotional system. Based on this insight, he developed the Limbic Explanation, which is extensively discussed in this book.

Are you struggling with physical complaints for which there seems to be no solution? This book is an invitation to search for what can help and heal you.
