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.

The Best Book You Can Buy for Pain Relief May 29, 2009

As a person who suddenly came down with a rare illness and had to find ways to cope, I chose this book in my search for books on pain relief. I have purchased many books on the subject with some success, but this one is by far the winner. First of all, Maggie Phillips is empathetic. She doesn't chastise you for not trying hard enough to cope, pitying yourself, etc. She just lays out a tremendous variety of ideas that you can use to try and help yourself have less pain. If you need A LOT of ideas, this book is for you. You can successfully read the book any way you like; skipping around, straight through, doing the exercises or not. No matter how you read it, you will find so many things to try. Some of her ideas take some concentration to understand and follow at first, but plenty are simple to use too. Also, no matter what your variety of pain is, this book would be useful. This is a tremendous book that can really help you. I recommend it without reservation.

I am a trauma therapist. I have this book in my library and I also recommend it to clients. Maggie Phillips is one of the foremost experts on the subject of chronic pain. She presents her material in a compassionate and concise way. All methods don't work for every person but there are enough options in this book that you can most likely find something to ease the pain. I have had clients that I have observed doing what this book says in the title: Reversing Chronic Pain. The book offers hope in what sometimes feels like a hopeless situation. Please try it if you are experiencing chronic pain.

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.
