Every recovery holds the potential for relapse. And
for many who have fought their way back to health form a physical
disorder or emotional trauma, the return of old symptoms can be even
more devastating than the original crisis.
This workbook
provides a carefully structured system that anyone can use to monitor
symptoms and respond to them in a way that reduces or eliminates the
possibility of relapse. You will identify those things you need to do
every day to maintain an optimum level of wellness, how to recognize
the daily events that can cause symptoms to increase, the early warning
signs that problems might be recurring, the signs that the situation is
worsening, and how to make personal action plans that can reverse the
situation. It will also guide you through the process of developing a
personal crisis plan for others to use if they need to take
responsibility for your care.
"I am delighted that Mary Ellen Copeland has designed such comprehensive and easy-to-use guidelines. Winning Against Relapse
can be used for a multitude of illnesses, including chronic pain
states. It promotes the state of optimum wellness that should be our
goal."
