For those who struggle with a chronic health condition, or a recurring psychological problem, one of the hardest lessons to learn is that no recovery is ever 100 percent complete. Given the wrong set of circumstances, the potential for relapse is almost always present. And for many who have fought their way back to health from a physical disorder or emotional trauma, the return of the old symptoms can be even more devastating than the original crisis. Mary Ellen Copeland's own battle with manic depression and fibromyalgia and chronic myofascial pain syndrome sent her on a search for strategies that would make it possible for her to manage these conditions. Her subsequent career, as an author and mental health educator, has put her in touch with thousands of people who were trying to incorporate wellness strategies into their daily lives, and who responded to her work by sharing the ideas that worked for them. In her 1999 book, Winning Against Relapse, she brought these ideas together in a structured system designed to teach anyone who is recovering from an illness or struggling with a chronic physical or emotional problem how to monitor their own symptoms and respond to them in a way that reduces, modifies, or eliminates the possibility of relapse. Her new tape, The Winning Against Relapse Program, focuses on the key concepts of her program. Mary Ellen describes a progressive process for self-monitoring, staying well, and creating change in the way listeners feel or in the way they behave. She also includes descriptions of simple, safe, and effective wellness "tools" that can be used to maintain health or help listeners feel better.
