Dr. Stanley H. Block on Mastering Your Identity System

Listen to My Exclusive Interview with Dr. Stanley H. Block Live!

Time and time again, we’re reminded how in spite of our universal similarities, we are still incredibly different from one another. Twins, for example, can share the same face and build, yet vary in terms of fingerprints.

We can say that this individualism lies in our genes—it’s how our DNA created us. In other words, it’s inherent among every human to separate himself from the others by creating his own family, ritual, religion, etc. It’s this individualism or identity that makes his life more interesting, and he’s constantly motivated to keep it at the same level at all times. This concept is called by Dr. Stanley Block as the Identity System.

However, the idea is way further from reality. The truth is that this system is almost always on overdrive. In an effort to separate oneself from the others, we instead develop a lot of tension, confusion, and high levels of stress. We become too self-absorbed with ourselves that we block ourselves from our surroundings, which could have helped us some more in the process of defining who we are. In the end, we’re constantly attacked by different kinds of stress, which can immediately cause disruption in the supposed balance we’d like to build between our mind and our body. Besides mental and emotional disturbance, we also experience all sorts of physical ailments, some of which can be so dreaded they can ultimately end our lives.

The Quest for Answers

To get back to one’s roots and going deeper into oneself  is a lot easier said than done. For one, not a lot of people know how to do it. There could be hundreds of self-help books out there, but in truth, they only touch the surface of the real process of healing. What one needs therefore is expert advice from someone who’s studied it for many years.

Dr. Stanley H. Block is currently working as an adjunct professor for psychiatry in the University of  Utah School of Medicine and adjunct professor of law and psychiatry in the Seattle University School of Law. Before that, he’s worked as a chairman, founder, and president for Portland Help Center and medical director of Jackson Brooklyn Institute.

His experiences, knowledge, and skills in the areas of psychiatry and neurology, allows him to discover the right solution to mastering the Identity System. It’s called Mind-Body Bridging.

The Mind-Body Bridging process didn’t come from out of nowhere. It’s more than a theory and not merely an opinion. It’s based on hard science, as hundreds of experts, doctors, and psychiatrists have studied the relationship between the brain and the body. The main goal is to keep the Identity System at rest. This process is also referred to as the Block method. When this occurs, the body is then able to greatly reduce stress, tap into the source that’s within, and give oneself the power to heal.

Currently Dr. Block shares the techniques through his book Come to Your Senses, Mind-Body Workbook for Anger: Effective Tools for Anger Management and Conflict Resolution and the Mind-body Workbook for PTSD.
