It may not take long, but in any event it's well worth it
It's been a while! I've actually written a portion of a more process oriented post. That's coming soon. But i wanted first to make this small point. You may have observed that my recovery will be one of those that's measured in years. While that might influence some readers to dismiss the JH practice as taking too long to be worth the bother, that would be a mistake! Here are two reasons:
First, even in those cases where recovery is measured in years, it is, in my view, easily worth the time and effort. If you've endured PD for a few years and have at some point felt pause turn off, then you know what I mean. The joy and relief is that great. What's more, commencing life off pause is so much better than merely returning to how things were for you before your PD diagnosis! I'll save that topic for its own post, but if you've read the JH materials you'll understand what I mean.
Second, recovery via the JH approach often doesn't take years. I'm aware of cases in which success with the practice was measured in months or even weeks. (And don't forget this young man whose recovery began in just minutes!) One example is Tobias Jenny who describes on his blog how, after working for a few years with some other interventions, he adopted the JH practice and almost immediately recovered, a process measured in just days or weeks. He does credit his prior work with other methods with contributing to the speed of his recovery once he adopted JH's approach. But clearly, for Tobias, the approach itself worked quickly and highly efficiently! (I've added a link to his blog on the “links” page.)
How long it takes to recover depends on how long you've been on pause combined, no doubt, with many other factors. That said, I don't know how the numbers break down in terms of speed of recovery via the JH approach. But that I personally know, or know of, several cases that took no more than a few months tells me there must be many more such cases out there. Of course many people don't recover at all. There are a number of possible reasons for that, most covered by JH in RFP (2020, pp. 133-134). But as suggested there, if you're motivated to truly recover, not just looking for some partial symptom relief, you can probably do it. And it may not take long!
