HEALTH / SELF-HELP"Jan Sadler provides age-old methods and sage advice designed to calm the body and the mind through the practice of self-awareness. The result is an inner calm that allows you to gain power over your pain. Whether your pain is physical or emotional, these wonderful practices will be extremely useful."--Donna Finando, author of Trigger Point Self-Care Manual and Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain "I thoroughly recommend Pain Relief without Drugs to all chronic sufferers; those who follow its advice will surely benefit." --DR. J. C. D. Wells, Pain Research Institute, Liverpool, EnglandIn 1989, following surgery for a back injury, Jan Sadler was left in constant pain, with no hope of any further conventional treatment and no adequate prescription drug therapy. Rather than settle for a life of chronic suffering, she gave up her career teaching English and began an investigation into the self-treatment of her pain. Building on her skills as a teacher, she incorporated the pain management techniques she discovered into programs that would help other sufferers learn how to cope with pain and find truly effective relief from its debilitating effects.Sadler shows how we can reduce pain's grip by changing our personal reactions to the pain we are feeling. Chronic pain keeps our attention fixed firmly on our anguish, which then feeds the painful reaction back into our perception of being in pain, creating a vicious cycle. By allowing our reaction to become one of relaxation and acceptance, the pain is dramatically lessened, both by the absence of a negative perception and by the infusion of relaxation into the point of pain. In Pain Relief without Drugs, Sadler provides easy-to-use self-help techniques that offer support and understanding in breaking pain's cycle--from relaxation, visualization, and breathing techniques to setting goals, building self-esteem, and coping with pain flare-ups. The author's twenty-five years of coping with her own pain and sixteen years of teaching pain management techniques result in a book that is filled with practical activities and possibilities for a better life. The book is accompanied by a 55-minute CD, narrated by the author, of key techniques for controlling pain.JAN SADLER is author and coordinator of the highly successful PainSupport Web site (www.painsupport.co.uk) and the author of Peaceful Sleep and The Five Feel-Good Factors. Her pain management programs have been adopted by pain and stress management clinics in hospitals and by support groups throughout the world. She lives in England.
