Healing the Heart After Trauma》
The Healer Within Series, Vol. 1
中文版為《心藥|做自己最好的醫生》
Book overview:
After a near-fatal glider crash in New Zealand, Dr. Bell Chung survived — but survival was only the beginning.
His body was badly injured. His right foot was nearly lost. Doctors warned him that he might live with permanent disability. In the long days that followed, he became trapped not only in physical pain, but also in fear, anger, dependence, shame, and despair.
A former senior police officer trained in criminal psychology and a professional hypnotherapist, Dr. Chung had spent years helping others face trauma, anxiety, and psychological suffering. But when trauma entered his own body, professional knowledge was no longer enough. The therapist had knowledge. The patient had pain. And pain does not always listen to knowledge.
Mind Medicine: Healing the Heart After Traumais the first volume in The Healer Within series and the intimate record of Dr. Chung’s inner recovery during the first 144 days after the accident. Unlike Life Returns, which follows his longer 2,322-day journey of near-death experience, meaning, and post-traumatic transformation, this book enters the hidden interior of healing.
At the center of the book is a profound question:
What must happen inside us before the body can truly heal?
Through dreams, hypnosis, subconscious dialogue, mindful living, and the quiet teachings of nature, Dr. Chung descends into his own inner world. There, he encounters a series of unexpected inner experts — a professor, a hypnotist, an analyst, a psychotherapist, a pain therapist, and a wise old man — each helping him face a different layer of suffering.
Are these figures symbols, voices of the subconscious, or expressions of an inner wisdom deeper than the conscious mind? Whatever the answer, they guide him toward a life-changing discovery: healing is not only something received from doctors, therapists, or medicine. It is also something awakened within.
As Dr. Chung moves from resistance to acceptance, from helplessness to agency, and from fighting illness to understanding its message, he begins to reclaim responsibility for his own healing. Acceptance does not mean giving up. Surrender does not mean defeat. To become one’s own best doctor is not to reject medical care, but to awaken the natural healing potential that medicine alone cannot command.
For anyone facing trauma, illness, grief, uncertainty, or the feeling that life has been broken beyond repair, Mind Medicine offers a quiet lantern:
To heal illness, we must first heal the heart.
And when the heart begins to heal, even a broken life may find its way back to light.
