Overcoming Chronic Fatigue 2nd Edition
$17.95 CAD |
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating illness, characterized by severe exhaustion and flu-like symptoms, which affects three per cent of people and for which conventional medicine currently has no cure.
This valuable self-help guide offers sufferers relief from the condition. Using recognised cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques that change our attitudes and coping strategies, the authors provide a better understanding of CFS and strategies for breaking the vicious circle of fatigue. The result is a proven reduction in symptoms and disability in up to two-thirds of CFS sufferers.
This fully updated new edition provides:
- Guidance on how to improve your sleep
- Practical strategies for balancing activity and rest
- Step-by-step advice on dealing with blocks to recovery
- Tools for coping with worry and stress
- Suggestions for how partners, relatives and friends can help
Overcoming self-help guides use clinically proven techniques to treat long-standing and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical.
