Product Description
Product Description
For years people have been looking for news of an effective treatment for M.E./Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. At last, here is the book they have been waiting for. Reverse Therapy is the radical new Bodymind healing process that has taken the UK by storm, bringing relief to hundreds of sufferers from these conditions since it was first offered to the General Public in 2003. Dr. John Eaton has now written this short book in order to explain Reverse Therapy in simple terms, accessible to the general reader. He describes how he evolved the ideas for Reverse Therapy and the underlying treatment process. Other chapters explain the nature of these illnesses and what exactly causes the symptoms. Then John goes on to describe how Reverse Therapy works and what sufferers can do to get well again. This may well be the first and last book anyone will need to buy in order to understand M.E./CFS and Fibromyalgia, and find the way to their cure.

easy to read,
This review is from: M.E., Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia - The Reverse Therapy Approach (Paperback)
ive had m.e for 17years and started to work with a practioner who uses reverse therapy - i bought this thinking it would help me use it more and further my healing. this is an easy to read book which is great for m.e brain fog and i found most of it easy to understand..but the book was all about the why and hows of reverse therapy and offered no self help as it were so i found that really disapointing and hence the book didnt offer me what i wanted.
still for anyone wanting to know about the subject its great

A Simple Approach,
By Teddy Merman (Macclesfield UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: M.E., Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia - The Reverse Therapy Approach (Paperback)
All the clients I have seen that have been diagnosed with CFS or ME have been to some extent trapped in a stress maintaining pattern whether that is overwork, doing for others but not themselves, over-exercising, not being themselves, or illness (the latter also often the "last straw" that leads to the full blown symptom pattern). Accepting the need to connect with your true nature and recognising unhelpful patterns of behaviour and emotion will help you to act in ways which are more likely to heal the imbalance in the involved brain-body systems.
Being told that you need to make such changes does not mean that you have a "psychological" problem. It means that the problem is at the interface of the body and the mind. How you think and behave will affect the action of transmitters at this interface. If you are lucky and can identify and make the appropriate changes, this may lead to recovery. Eatons book is a little oversimplified, but is a good starting point. Yes, it could have been better edited, yes, some of the language is irritating, but I do think that the ideas within are worth a look. As to the cost of Reverse Therapy, anyone who enters in to the process will probably be able to tell if it is going to be right for them within very few sessions. I always tell my counselling/psychotherapy cleints that we should work together for four sessions and then review whether we were making any progress. I'd do the same as a Reverse Therapy client, if it isn't working at least a bit by then then it probably is the wrong technique or the wrong therapist for you.

Good introduction to RT, but slightly lacking science,
By David Jameson (Calgary, AB) - See all my reviews
This review is from: M.E., Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia - The Reverse Therapy Approach (Paperback)
I myself recovered from CFS in 2002, and have been completely symptom-free for about 3 years now (see my website at www.mind-body-health.net). Although I didn't use Reverse Therapy to recover from CFS (which wasn't around when I was ill), I have had discussions with John about his theory of CFS and he kindly sent me a copy of his book.John's book is very well written, and is easy to read and understand. It discusses John's own personal experiences with illness, through to his development of Reverse Therapy, and the experiences of some of the patients who he has treated. For anyone thinking of using Reverse Therapy (RT), the book is a very good overview of the theory and practice of the treatment. It also gives many insights into the causes of the illness which will be useful to patients whether or not they decide to use RT. The only criticism I have about the book is the slight lack of science. While the thrust of his theory seems to be basically on track, it is let down by references to unscientific terms and concepts such as "chemical memories", "bodymind", etc. Another point, related to RT itself, is that the therapy tends to concentrate only on resolving psychological issues and stresses, without putting any signifance on the benefit of the patient rebuilding their lives through motivating activities and goals, which in my own experience and many others seems to be critical to recovery. Many patients who undertake RT find that they resolve all of their psychological issues, but they still remain ill. See for example reversetherapy.blogspot.com. Overall, however, the book is a good read and will give some insight into the mind-body connection of CFS without requiring the reader having to be a scientist to understand it.
