Every one of us will experience pain, be it back pain, the pain of childbirth, or living in an aging body. Not a single one of us will escape. But what if everything you thought you knew about pain was. . . wrong?
We've been told that pain is purely physical, something to do just with bones and body parts. The truth is that pain is constructed by the brain - influenced not just by injuries, but also by emotions, expectations, and environment. This means you have infinitely more control over pain than you ever imagined: because if the brain can change, pain can change.
Rooted in cutting-edge neuroscience and rich patient stories, Dr. Rachel Zoffness completely upends the myths we've been sold - finally reconnecting physical and emotional pain, and providing a roadmap for healing. The fact is that chronic pain is treatable. But to do that, we must target the whole person - not just a body part. A groundbreaking, revolutionary book that finally offers access to the world's most powerful painkiller: YOU.
