Explore the Expanded Awareness Series

 “Congratulations to Sophie on her new book! It’s really a masterful weaving of mind and body.”
—Deanna Minich, Ph.D., internationally recognized teacher, author, and scientist in the fields of Nutrition and Functional Medicine 

 "In Expanded Awareness: A Health Psychologist’s Journey Beyond the Mind-Body Duality, Dr. Guellati-Salcedo presents an absolute master class on healing but not by regurgitating long-held, mainstream talking points. Instead, she takes readers on a deep exploration of provocative ideas and concepts that, not terribly long ago, would have been discarded as magical thinking. Without throwing the baby out with the bathwater, Guellati-Salcedo’s masterful presentation bridges the gap between the current medical model—with its physical focus on symptoms and symptom-relief—and a metaphysical, holistic approach, incorporating often-maligned concepts, such as epigenetics, consciousness, and energy. But lest you believe this is just another book about wishful thinking, the author—who holds a doctorate in health psychology—presents anecdotes, evidence, resources, and references that offer a foundation of understanding, satisfying skeptics, while providing support to those who already work within this new paradigm. Whether you are a health-care provider or a layperson, Expanded Awareness is a rewarding read and a valuable reference for your library."

—Dr. Allison Brown, award-winning author, editor, publisher, and quantum healer. 

 "I found this book to be filled with information. Some of it I had to wrap my head around it, other parts of it I realized this was going to become a reference book! Sophie has such a way of taking something abstract and really different and making it seem true, or normal, or gave me an 'of course that's true' moment.
If you want to understand quantum healing, the energy fields, the link between your soul, your human body, and everything associated with that, this is the book for you. She helped me to put into words, things I knew but had trouble describing.
Great book! Thank you for writing it."

 —Shelly Dressel, RN, podcaster, and channeler 

"This is an important and wonderfully well-written book that bridges conventional therapeutic frameworks with integrative healing practices. Expanded Awareness will resonate with therapists and clients alike, as well as readers interested in the evolving landscape of psychological thought.

Partly a synthesis of influential thinkers, partly a candid exploration of the author’s own journey of self-discovery, and partly a manifesto challenging outdated paradigms, this work by Dr. Guellati-Salcedo stands out as essential reading. Her thinking reflects a mature synthesis of rigorous research, advanced training, a sharply inquisitive mind, and an eclectic background. The result is a powerful theoretical framework that illuminates current—yet often overlooked—ideas poised to shape the future of psychotherapy and integrative health."

—Dr. Damon G. LaBarbera, Psychologist, MA, Ph.D.

"This was a good read. Expanded Awareness is something probably everyone needs, and this book is sure to deliver."

—Michael Michelsen, Freelance Journalist, Award-Winning Writer, Publicist.

 "What struck me most was not any single concept, but how completely your framework integrated trauma physiology, autonomic regulation, pain, and long-term bodily adaptation. Reading it, I repeatedly found myself thinking: this is exactly what has been happening to me, even though I never previously had the language or organizing model to describe it. (...) I am grateful for the clarity and integrity of [this] work, and for the way it has helped me make sense of my own experience. "

—Robert A. Harris, MPA, Vietnam & Gulf Wars Veteran

 Expanded Awareness Book 1 provides a full reference library for the person who desires to understand a new ‘living’ model for whole-body integrative healing; traditional medicine, alternative medicine, spirituality, and Quantum Physics consciousness principles. With a major paradigm shift in medicine and patient care on the current horizon, this health psychologist details the foundations of building this new framework that heals the whole system.
This amazing book brings science, research and philosophy into a 360 degree spherical repository. We learn of human life as an intelligent ecosystem that requires a full, personalized terrain map that is achievable by a multi-disciplinary medical team. The author’s ability to break down concepts of bio-feedback, hypnosis, frequency and color light therapies, and subtle energy techniques is extremely helpful. This is paired with how it integrates with traditional medicine approaches, drug-based approaches, and the damage of a ‘single-perspective’ view of a disease or condition.
This patient-centered terrain model brings the personal agency and sovereignty of the individual to the forefront, and emboldens each of us to embrace this new foundation for the future of our modern medicine world. We can and will take a more active role in our own healing and wellness choices, and with this book as a road map, we have an excellent guide!
For those in the medical fields, read this as a primer for foundational information in the vein of Amit Goswami, Phd., concerning Quantum Physics with the body, and Paul Drouin, M.D., with integrative medicine approaches. For an individual looking for better answers for health concerns, this is a wonderful introduction to subjects that have felt complicated as Sophie Guellati-Salcedo simplifies and weaves everything together. Wonderful first book by this experienced and compassionate health psychologist and healer.

 “As the next logical step in what will eventually become a three-book series, Expanded Awareness: A Health Psychologist’s Exploration of Consciousness (Book Two) reveals the experiences, intersections, and relationships that shaped the perspectives Dr. Guellati-Salcedo introduced in Book One. Through a winding path of seemingly disparate events, each challenging not only her belief systems but also her professional training, Guellati-Salcedo’s journey unfolds beautifully and naturally, so naturally, in fact, that it feels divinely orchestrated. She then offers a master class on consciousness that, rather than overwhelming the reader, invites them to search for meaning within their own lives. Further, she provides the necessary exploratory tools, clearly explaining concepts such as déjà vu, precognition, archetypes, and the placebo effect. I found this to be a welcome and captivating follow-up to Book One, deepening its themes while standing firmly on its own, and I look forward to seeing how Dr. Guellati-Salcedo brings this journey to a close in Book Three.”

— Dr. Allison Brown, Award-winning author of Awakening Stories, The Origin Story: Rediscovering Our Galactic Ancestors, The Journey Within, and Love Notes from the Animal Kingdom

 Expanded Awareness Book 2 is a wonderful expansion on the definitions and principles provided in Book 1. This time the viewpoint is from the author’s extensive years as a health psychologist in many settings, and experience in QHHT and Quantum feedback systems. Explorations are around esoteric and thought-provoking topics such the meaning of soul contracts, consciousness healing, trauma and crisis as initiations in life, and the potential meaning of multi-dimensional states of being. When the topics are woven together with the terrain model of book 1, this book provides an opportunity to examine one’s personal journey toward a healed and enlightened state while embracing the unknown factors yet to be revealed by our science fields and greater universe.
The individual is celebrated for intelligent body coherence, soul integrity for its journey, and honor for the sacred personal human experience. This lovely book 2 will provoke reflective questions for the reader that will hopefully lead to deeper clarity of how one desires to lead a life of joy, respect, and generous spirit – most especially toward oneself. How brave we all are! Thank you to the author for bringing this wonderful work forward with a clear voice through her compassionate eyes, deep research, and a compelling wish for all to heal in body and spirit.
