5.0 out of 5 stars A Lasting Solution for Persistent Pain, October 17, 2002

By	Bruce N. Eimer, Ph.D. (Abington, PA United States) - See all my reviews

As the author, I wrote this book for people who have tried everything to get their persistent pain to leave. I have compiled many techniques for helping people in pain regain control over their pain and diminish the suffering element.

Self hypnosis is the best non-drug remedy for relieving pain that won't go away. I use it myself because I have chronic pain (fibromylagia, chronic fatigue, spinal disease and arthritis).

The book clearly explains what HYPNOSIS is and what it is NOT. Readers are guided to choose the right self hypnosis method for them. Self-hypnotic pain coping methods covered (the "6 D's") include: Deep relaxation, De-catastrophizing, Direct behavior modification, Distraction, Distortion of pain sensations, and Dissociation from pain.

To my knowledge, this is the first self-help book devoted solely to self hypnosis for pain management. The goal is
NO MORE PAIN. The method is self-hypnosis. The result is less pain and less suffering. The bottom line is that if you have a chronic disease, "pain may be mandatory, but suffering is optional".

This book can be used with or without the help of a therapist.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most helpful book I've read about chronic pain., May 11, 2004

By	Edward J. Lizottte "virginiajr" (Braintree, Ma United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Three years ago I purchased this book to help with challenges from living with scoliosis and related leg pain. I half-heartedly read book. Of course, 3 years later my challenges increased so that the old maxim "When the student is ready, the teacher appears" became self evident. I revisited the book and have benefitted tremendously from the clear, concise, steps, that one can take to break down the cycle of pain. I also like the fact that there are a myriad of choices of relaxing or meditative exercises for you to chose from. This lets you pick and chose what works best for you. I only wish that there were a CD available as an accompaniment to the book. I am grateful to the author and hope to read more from him in the future

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Way to Minimize Pain Without Adding Meds, August 3, 2002

By	Devin J. Starlanyl (W. Chesterfield, NH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a powerful tool to help people in pain gain some measure of control over that pain, and minimize the impact of pain on their function and quality of life. The writing is understandable and enjoyable. There are many options and styles of self-hypnosis offered. I recommend this book highly, and use it myself.
