Do you suffer from ongoing pain or other chronic medical
symptoms such as fatigue, lower back pain, arthritis, acid
indigestion, insomnia, or migraines? Do they interfere with
your family time or your work? Have you been forced to give
up activities that you enjoy? Do you feel as though your
symptoms are taking over your life? Thirty percent of the population suffer from chronic
debilitating illnesses and pain that respond only partially
to conventional medicine. But this doesn't mean that there
is no relief in sight. Dr. Arthur Barsky, psychiatrist and pioneer in the field of
mind-body medicine, has found that changing the way you
think about your illness can have a remarkable effect on how
you experience your symptoms. Two people with the same
symptoms can live dramatically different lives because they
think about and react to their symptoms differently. At Harvard Medical School, Dr. Barsky developed "Stop Being
Your Symptoms and Start Being Yourself," a breakthrough
six-week program designed to overcome the symptoms of
chronic illnesses of every kind. Based on more than twenty
years of firsthand clinical experience, his scientifically
tested treatment plan is unique, powerful, and simple to
learn. This groundbreaking program teaches patients to
master the five psychological factors that make chronic
symptoms persist through hundreds of exercises, worksheets,
and patient examples. You may not be able to completely eliminate your medical
symptoms. But it is possible to control your symptoms rather
than letting them control you—to manage your pain, fatigue,
insomnia, and anxiety. You can minimize your symptoms, learn
new coping skills, and do more to make sure that your
symptoms are not robbing your life of meaning and pleasure. Stop being your symptoms—and start living the life you deserve.
