Product Description
Reversing Chronic Pain offers a dynamic framework for joining body and mind to speed the healing of traumatic pain from the body level up. Each chapter presents a body-centered skill set that can be mastered through a broad menu of practice exercises. The resulting interlinked somatic building blocks help readers shift from physical pain to body awareness, and from unstoppable suffering to heartfelt connection and peace.
Building on the AIDS cocktail approach that reflects the fact that chronic pain is complex and no one tactic is likely to solve the problem, renowned expert Maggie Phillips presents a 10-1 pain plan comprised of easy strategies based on somatic experience. Even if the reader?s pain is perceived as a ?10? at the onset of the program, with 10 being intolerable, the somatic building blocks help shift the pain one point at a time until it gradually diminishes to ?1? or even ?zero.? Showing how the common professional interventions?medication, physical therapy, acupuncture, biofeedback?may be more harmful than healing, Reversing Chronic Pain stresses self-treatment throughout, involving sufferers in attaining lives not simply endured but actively enjoyed.

 An excellent assortment of methods for dealing with pain August 6, 2008
Maggie Phillips has gathered an excellent assortment of methods for dealing with pain. These include breathing exercises; sorting out feelings about pain; relaxation; imagery; mindfulness; bioenergy approaches; movement; pendulating (alternating between constriction and expansion); love; and building on success. Each section has discussions, case examples, helpful exercises, notes and references.Phillips' approach is very straightforward and practical, acknowledging that no single method is suitable for every person or every pain. This is an excellent book both for those needing help with pain relief and for therapists who want to learn diverse methods for dealing with pain.

BEST B00K ON PAIN January 7, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
As a psychologist I have treated chronic pain for many years. This is by far the best resource for learning to manage chronic pain that I have ever seen. The author combines informative and accurate information about chronic pain from medical science with the discoveries of mind-body techniques that can help in coping with pain. Amazingly, the author has been able to do this without excessive professional talk so the average reader can benefit from what she has to offer. James L. Helmuth, Ph.D.

This book is a great guide to finding ways to reduce personal perception of pain. The author makes no claims to cure the underlying problem but offers many options to help one manage pain. Each chapter has several options and each person can choose what combination of activites works for them. Highly recommended.
