Nearly 20 per cent of people in the UK suffer from chronic debilitating symptoms that respond only partially to conventional medical treatment. Discomforts such as fatigue, insomnia, headaches, weak muscles, acid indigestion, and bloating cost the nation hundreds of pounds in health care expenses and lost productivity. Until now, no other book has relied on scientific evidence to provide a mind-body treatment specifically proven to ease the pain and distress of any chronic symptom. Based on over 20 years of clinical experience, scientifically tested at Harvard Medical School, and studied via a grant from the National Institutes of Health, the authors have developed a set of essential skills for overcoming the symptoms of chronic illnesses of every kind. The treatment is unique, powerful, and simple to learn. Readers are taught to stop worrying about being sick, and to start thinking about living well. This involves mastering the five psychological factors that make chronic symptoms persist. In a few short weeks, symptoms that have plagued so many for so long can be significantly relieved.REVIEWS
Arthur Barsky, M.D. is a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Director of Psychiatric Research at the Brigham and Women's Hospital. He is the author of WORRIED SICK and is a widely recognized authority in his filed. Emily Deans, M.D. is chief resident in psychiatry at the Harvard Longwood Psychiatry Residency Training Program and a clinical fellow at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Deans is highly experienced with chronic symptoms sufferers.I read this book two and a half years ago, suffering from chronic Lyme or some other chronic illness. I had got to the point of thinking my life might be irrevocably changed. Friends made me work through the six week program in this book and it really changed my life. I don't say that lightly.
The book presents a six week program for reducing your obsession with your negative feelings, including tricks like "worry time," meditation, and my favorite: limit health research on the Internet to a specific, limited time per week.
Each week builds on the week before, and provides over a dozen activities and approaches to try. There is no need to try each, but only a handful. This feature means that you can complete the full program no matter your current state, and that if you do the program again you will get new insights and improvements out of it.
I have been actively recommending this book to several people over the years, and I really think their lives would be better for reading it.
