With 265,000 cases in the UK alone, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is more common than people may think, yet is poorly understood. Breaking Free fills this gap in knowledge, providing a route to recovery. Across 9 chapters, it shows that the cycle of exhaustion, poor concentration, loss of memory and pain can be broken and that there is real hope of recovery. In addition to covering CFS, the author outlines connected areas of Post Viral Fatigue (PVF), explaining how to tackle protracted symptoms that can arise following contracting Covid. Given that in November 2021 it was reported by Office of National Statistics that a staggering 1.1 million people in the UK were experiencing Long Covid symptoms, Breaking Free is more essential than ever. Readers will benefit from the clear and tested step-by-step guide offered by a woman who has not only done it herself, but who has helped 1,000 people fight their way out of a serious condition back to a healthy and productive life. With the support of a media campaign, readers will find that Breaking Free offers a comprehensive, informative, and supportive guide to recovery from CFS and Long Covid Symptoms that sustains its relevancy and importance.

About the Author
After graduating with a BSc Honours in Psychology and a PGCE in teaching, Jan Rothney worked with children who were presenting concerns in schools. She then went on to teach and run Behaviour Therapy at a residential school for behavioural difficulties. Jan was subsequently diagnosed with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E) in 2003, which came as a result of years of post-viral fatigue, other health conditions and living in an unhealthy environment. Jan recovered on her own, but a relapse in 2006 made her realise it wasn't enough to get physically better. She went on to run a clinic for M.E and CFS / PVF and has worked with 1,000 clients to enable them to recover through her Reset to Thrive Recovery Programme.

Reviews
'This book was incredible! It's opened my eyes up about CFS and has given me so much hope/motivation. There is a clear breakdown of what's going on in the body when someone has CFS symptoms, all relating to nervous system regulation/poly vagal theory. There are tools/rewiring techniques, and a whole host of inspiring healing testimonials. She also discusses social defence skills and maintaining health once you're recovered. It's a perfect book for anybody diagnosed with CFS, but the tools work for everyday life as well!'
