Molecules of Emotion?

I often reference this book when I explain the process of emotions becoming trapped in the body. I used the research of Dr. Pert in my continuing ed lecture, "Pain and the Mind-Body Approach," to help explain the physiological pathway of emotions becoming lodged in various parts in the body. It is a technical read; however, Dr. Pert offers her discoveries in a memoir to make it worthwhile. I also recommend the audio version of the book. Dr. Pert is the narrator, and it's fun to hear excited she gets about discovering peptides!
