Summary |
"If you suffer from chronic pain, this proven 10-step program will bring hope and relief, showing you how gradual behavior changes can lead to great improvements. Turk and Winter's recommendations are based on solid research and on their success with thousands of patients. They promise no miracle cures, but they do help you learn "not to let your body push you around" so you can enjoy life again. Lessons in this book include: (1) uncovering the myths about pain and learning how it fools your body; (2) pacing your activity, so you build strength without overdoing or underdoing it; (3) dealing with disturbed sleep and chronic fatigue; (4) improving your relations with family and friends; (5) combating negative thinking and regaining your self-confidence; and (6) dealing with inevitable relapses and setbacks"--Cover.
