The Opioid-Free Pain Relief Kit - Beth Darnall
Praise for The Opioid-Free Pain Relief Kit
A superb self-help book that uses cognitive-behavioral principles to guide recovery from chronic pain. Easy to read and to implement the exercises, this brief and focused text will provide both the information and the how-to-do-it that chronic pain sufferers can utilize to restore normal activities.
—John Loeser, MD, Professor, University of Washington Past President, American Pain Society and
the International Association for the Study of Pain
Pain, fear of pain, and pain pills form a vicious cycle. This book, written by a real expert, can help you break the cycle. Small, doable steps lead away from pills, lessen the pain, and diminish much of the fear. All this leads to a fuller, more productive and more joyful life. Go for it! You have nothing to lose but your pain, and so much to gain.
—Kate Lorig, DrPH, director and professor emeritus, Stanford University School of Medicine’s Patient Education Research Center
This book provides a comprehensive and accessible guide that will inspire and empower those with chronic pain to take back their lives, without relying on dangerous medications. It is a must read for those living with pain.
—Jennifer L. Murphy, PhD, VA CBT for Chronic Pain Trainer, Clinical Director, Chronic Pain Rehabilitation Program, James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital, Tampa, Florida
"Patients are looking for options now that opioids have been found to be less effective than once thought. Alternative approaches are frequently suggested but with little guidance on where to seek help. The Opioid-Free Pain Relief Kit is an excellent, patient centered, practical approach to taking back control over pain that often ruins the lives of our patients. With Beth’s Tips and patient scenarios, the text is interesting and informative. Enjoyable graphics and forms to guide progress makes the book a discovery and not a chore. This volume begs for our patients to enlist their time and energy and for us to review their success, a refreshing addition to the patient’s own resource guide."
—Bill McCarberg, MD, Immediate Past President, American Academy of Pain Medicine
The latest book by Dr. Darnall gives individuals with chronic pain a practical, step-by-step approach to reduce pain and become less reliant on pain medications
—W. Michael Hooten, MD, Division of Pain Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota
"The Opioid-Free Pain Relief Kit is a workbook for people with chronic pain and in my mind it is an instant classic. Dr. Darnall clearly and gently explains the basic principles of chronic pain and how people can help themselves. Pain patients have for too long felt totally dependent on healthcare providers for pain relief: Who will help me?
What will they do to help me?
and What am I going to be prescribed?
This book explains how pain patients have the ability to significantly decrease their pain and take charge of their own pain relief. I will be recommending this book to all of my patients."
—Ted Jones, PhD, Lead Psychologist, Pain Consultants of East Tennessee
A straightforward, easy-to-read book containing the key ingredients necessary for anyone to develop their own plan for managing chronic pain.
—Steven Dobscha, MD, Professor, Department of Psychiatry, Oregon Health & Science University
Dr. Beth Darnall has again provided a highly-readable, practical, understandable and insightful guide for the chronic pain sufferer. It is a wonderful adjunct and standalone book that can truly make a difference leading to less suffering, increased function, and a happier life. I recommend it highly to medical care professionals and individuals with chronic pain conditions. Reading this book will result in a positive life-changing experience.
—Steven D. Feinberg, MD, MPH, Board Certified, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Board Certified, American Board of Pain Medicine Past-President of the American Academy of Pain Medicine
