Radical Rest: The Book Where I got the information.

You’ve read the book! Yay!

You want to know where I got all the information from?

Right, one thing, I am not going to properly reference, as I’m no longer at Uni, and no-one is making me. Harvard Rules me no more.

You’ve brought the book! Yay! Thankyou. 

You want to know where I got this info from, and that I’ve not made it up?

That is fair enough. 

I’m not going to lie; I accidently deleted my reference list in an attempt to organise my life. Here is my reconstruction.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a concept I was taught in nurse school, lots of people don’t like it now, due to more trauma thinking. I think it still works; we just need to think harder about some of the concepts. I got my info from nurse school.

I hear your gasp, I just linked to Wikipedia. I did, and I’ll do it again.

Resting to Repair

Pooping and Peeing… Look I spent a long time measuring pee and poop. Experience tells me it’s a useful thing to know. Plus the ancient doc whom I worked with from Iran was uber obsessed with his patients pee and poop. In the two weeks he was a Locum we had no deaths on that Geriatric Ward. 

Stress and Food: That is Porges and Haines again, they are good at activated body states.
