Tackling the crucial question of how to get well, this book offers simple, research-based psychological strategies for recovery—a modern-day convalescent's toolkit

Offering simple, practical ways to find a path through the space between illness and health, this book is for anyone who has suffered or is suffering a health crisis. The truth is that when your body takes a serious knock so does your mind. Often people feel worried, confused, lonely, depressed, unsupported, or overwhelmed. They may be grappling with ongoing physical challenges: disability, pain, treatment side effects, sleep problems, and fatigue, and they may have practical concerns over finances or work. This book discusses why getting better takes time, why relaxation and exercise are both vital, how to build confidence and tackle low mood and depression, eating for recovery, how to deal with medical advice and communicate well with doctors, how to keep family life and relationships on track, and much more. There are also case histories to inspire readers as well as fascinating snippets on healing strategies from times gone by, which help to make this an entertaining as well as a highly practical, inspiring read. This is the book you would buy for yourself or for any friend, colleague, or loved one who has suffered a health crisis, whether it is a serious illness, accident, surgery, or life-threatening event such as a stroke or heart attack.
