Fleming Method of Relaxation for Concentration, Stress Management and Pain Control by Carol Horrigan
Health care professionals who teach relaxation to patients in hospital, hospice or home will welcome this handbook. It teaches an effective method of self-help which is easy to learn, even for patients who have physical or mental health problems, or learning disabilities. It is useful for any patient in pain, or patients who may be preparing for changes in their pain or other symptoms. Based on the innovative work of Ursula Fleming, the book draws on her original clinical material. Appropriate updating and the addition of much new material ensures that it reflects the changed environment of health care. The approach is a positive one, enabling the user to remain in complete control of their levels of comfort in all situations, without the intervention of anyone else. Experiencing the power of the mind-body relaxation response allows them to apply the technique to any activity which may normally be interrupted by the constant flow of everyday thoughts. The method additionally conveys the ability to overcome many of the effects, and side-effects, of diseases and their orthodox treatments, e.g. chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Audio tapes which can be used for teaching, or by patients on their own, have been specially prepared by Carol Horrigan. They can be used in conjunction with the book or separately from it. Original tapes by Ursula Fleming are also available.
