Book Description:
If you are suffering from pain...
If someone you love is suffering from pain...
If you'd give anything to be able to overcome that pain, without drugs..
If you need inspiration from someone who has "been there"...this book is for you.
In 1982, Gari Carter's old life abruptly ended. A head-on car crash destroyed much of her face. Ahead were almost ten years of operations that gradually rebuilt her jaws, cheekbones, nose, and gums. Ahead lay months of helplessness, pain, anxiety, and depression. Ahead lay overwhelming fear of pain. But ahead lay much more...
Healing Myself is the story of one woman's successful battle to rise above pain and despair. But it's about more than pain. It's about the elation she felt as she gained control of her suffering. It's about the lessons she learned from hard experience--lessons in patience, love, and proper priorities.
Perhaps most astoundingly, it's about her discovery of a series of commercially-produced audio pain-control tapes that changed her multiple-hour operations from ordeals to be dreaded into challenges to be met calmly and confidently--without anesthetics!

V. N. (The engrossing tale of a car crash and its aftermath: everyone survived but her face. With nose and mouth sheared off, Gari Carter makes her courageous way forward into a new life. A wonderful book to remind us of the strength and courage that it takes to heal and go forward. She makes mistakes, but each setback makes her resolve stronger. Good for those recovering and caregivers who need to read in first person about the journey of the injuried. Inspiring.
Linda C. (It was a rainy night in Saint Petersburg, Florida in 1994 when I first met Gari Carter after she spoke about her experiences and the tapes from the Monroe Institute. (The Foreward is written by Robert Monroe.) I arranged to have Gari as the guest speaker for a group I was in at the time and she was a hit.
Gari has spoken with many groups dealing with people who have major facial reconstruction.
Later, when I took a 6 month class for A Course in Miracles in Clearwater, Florida, Gari was a member of the group. She's a classy lady.
This is an unforgettable book.
