Product Description
Product Description
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy treats disorders by changing patterns of behaviour and thought that may be unhelpful. It is now internationally established as a key method of helping overcome longstanding and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical. This book provides a clinically proven self-help approach to pain management based on the authors' work with sufferers at Bradford Hospital. Chronic pain that has lasted more than six months can be caused by a number of factors including stress, prolonged muscle tension and the fact that nerves carrying the pain message have developed a long-term 'memory' for the pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help patients become more active, relieve negative feelings, reduce their distress and help them to manage pain more effectively. This title helps you understand why pain persists when there's no injury or disease present. It explains how to use drugs more effectively. It gives guidance for how to become fitter and more active. It offers practical tips on improving sleep and relaxation. It covers better management of depression, anxiety and anger. It provides advice on maintaining healthy and happy relationships with family and friends. Drawing on feedback from hundreds of pain patients, "Overcoming Chronic Pain" will help readers escape from the distressing cycle of chronic pain.

Format:Paperback
I bought this copy to give to a friend having first read the book a few years ago. It is an easy read, even if at times a bit of a challenge to your way of thinking and doing things. I did not notice any immediate major benefit from following the advice given but as time goes on I realise that I have incorporated a lot of the advice given into my daily life. I usually realise this when going back to old ways of thinking and then finding all the pain overwhelming me. The book won't tell you how to get rid of the pain but it will show you that its possible to have an improved lifestyle despite of it, and of late, thats been pretty good.

It is understandable to read. Able to relate to it! Very good for everyday use. Not something you have to read then put away to collect dust. Has sections that you can record your own problems and reflect situations as and when you feel the need. All in all very good!
