Fully updated and expanded for 2026, the second edition of Breaking Free brings new research and deeper guidance to a trusted recovery resource for Long Covid and ME/CFS.
As a former lecturer in Health and Social Care, a therapist and an experienced practitioner running her own Reset to Thrive Recovery Programme, Jan Rothney shares her expertise and first-hand experience about recovering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Long Covid. The book shows why there is so much confusion surrounding these conditions and how they impact on recovery, at a time when the after effects of Covid are being felt across all of society.
Breaking Free allows readers to understand the science behind the symptoms, and learn how to work with the body to rebalance the autonomic system. You will be guided through step by step, at your own pace, and offered techniques to speed up recovery, before being shown what it takes to stay healthy and robust, no matter what challenges life brings. There is no magic: the answer lies within ourselves.

Condition: new. 2026 Anniversary Edition! Updated with current research and new guidance.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.When the first edition of Breaking Free was published in 2022, Arkbounds commitment to socially impactful books ensured it reached readers who needed it most. Jan is deeply grateful for this support, and we are thrilled to be publishing the new edition in 2026.As a UK-based health educator who has lived with and recovered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Jans personal experience and professional knowledge have guided both Breaking Free and the Reset to Thrive programme. Rooted in lived experience, neuroscience, holistic health and the biosocial neurological model, Breaking Free offers a compassionate, evidence-based guide for those living with Long Covid and CFS. Since its release, readers have shared extraordinary stories of renewed energy, clearer thinking, improved wellbeing and, most importantly, hope.The demand for this book has remained strong for over three years, a rare achievement for a small-press nonfiction title. This speaks to the courage of those readers who are ready to engage with healing.The new edition builds on this foundation with:- Updated research and evidence on Long Covid, CFS, the vagus nerve and chronic fatigue treatments.- Refined structure and accessibility, with larger print, dyslexia-friendly layout and a refreshed cover.- Translations into Dutch and German, opening the door to millions more readers worldwide.- Expanded outreach, including podcasts, interviews, events and media engagement.

Paperback. Condition: New. 2nd. Breaking Free: Anniversary Edition is a fully updated and expanded edition of the bestselling, pioneering guide to recovery from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). Accompanying the internationally successful Reset to Thrive programme, it offers an evidence-informed perspective that reframes these widely debated conditions as reversible neurological dysfunctions rather than irreversible physical damage. The book equips readers with practical tools to regulate the nervous system, reduce fear responses, reinterpret symptoms and gradually rebuild their health.Drawing on emerging research into neuroplasticity, the autonomic nervous system and non-medical interventions alongside lived patient experience, the book explores how symptoms may be generated and sustained, and how recovery can be supported. This new edition incorporates over 500 peer-reviewed studies and places particular emphasis on the role of beliefs, expectations, self-agency and reassurance in shaping health outcomes reflecting a growing body of research in this area. It builds on the book's reputation as an early and influential title in this space and is widely recommended by patient-led recovery groups.Breaking Free was the result and it has gone on to become an international bestseller.Structured as both an explanatory and practical guide, Breaking Free helps readers understand the mechanisms behind their symptoms while offering structured techniques to support recovery.
