Speaking Out for Yourself
A Self-Help Guide
Foreword
It contains information, ideas, and strategies that people
from all over the country have found to be helpful in relieving and preventing
troubling feelings and symptoms. The information in this booklet can be
used safely along with your other health care treatment.
You may want to read through this booklet at least once before you begin
working on developing your own action plans for prevention and recovery.
This can help enhance your understanding of the entire process. Then you
can go back to work on each section. You may want to do this slowly, working
on a portion of it and then putting it aside and coming back to it at
another time.
After you have finished developing your plan, you may want to review and
revise it on a regular basis as you learn new things about yourself and
ways you can help yourself to feel better.
