Book Description

November 1, 1993

If you are suffering from pain. . .If someone you love is suffering from pain. . .If you'd give anything to be able to overcome that pain, without drugs. . .If you need inspiration from someone who has "been there". . .This book is for you.

In 1982, Gari Carter's old life abruptly ended. A head-on car crash destroyed much of her face. Ahead were almost ten years of operations that gradually rebuilt her jaws, cheek-bones, nose, and gums. Ahead lay months of helplessness, pain, anxiety, and depression. Ahead lay overwhelming fear of pain. But ahead lay much more.

Healing Myself is the story of one woman's successful battle to rise above pain and despair. But it's about more than pain. It's about the elation she felt as she gained control of her suffering. It's about the lessons she learned from hard experience-lessons in patience, love, and proper priorities.

Perhaps most astoundingly, it's about her discovery of a series of commercially-produced audio pain-control tapes that changed her multiple-hour operations from ordeals to be dreaded into challenges to be met calmly and confidently-without anesthetics!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Source of Inspiration and An Example of Courage, May 29, 2000
By 
Sarah Whitney-Mead (St. Petersburg, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Healing Myself: A Hero's Primer for Recovery from Trauma (Paperback)
Having read both Gari Carter's book and some of the reviews, an Eastern expression comes to mind, "there are many truths and many realities." Gari's book cannot be all things to all people, but for the reader capable of being inspired by one woman's courage and able to use this book as a source of inspiration and as a resource book, it is wonderful. Having initially read the book in 1996, I continue to use it on my own journey of healing and am grateful to the author for sharing her story.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a very valuable book for anyone facing surgery., November 12, 1998
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Healing Myself: A Hero's Primer for Recovery from Trauma (Paperback)
This book is an account of a woman's dealing with a traumatic injury that required many surgeries to correct. It describes her overwhelming will to live, her depression because of facial changes and pain and how she fought to rebuild her life. The most important thing that she shares is her discovery and use of Robert Monroe's tapes to help relax before and during surgery and to control the pain after surgery. I have used his tapes myself and highly recommend them to anyone who is anticapating surgery.

The book is interesting, at times difficult to read because of the suffering you know the author is experiencing, but her fight to remain upbeat is a real inspiration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Story of tragedy, hope, persistence & personal success, November 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Healing Myself: A Hero's Primer for Recovery from Trauma (Paperback)
I met Gari Carter through a mutual friend and the first time I met Ms. Carter I knew there was "something" about her that was "special" Her love, calmness,sincereness,& humbleness is not found in the normal person who has never been thru a tragedy. A must read for all.
