'This book is essential -- for anyone living with pain, and for those who care for them' Lisa Sanders, MD, Professor, Yale School of Medicine<BR><BR>'A masterclass in healing' Michael Gervais, psychologist <BR><BR>We can move the dial on pain<BR><BR>Leading expert Rachel Zoffness bridges the gap between medicine and psychology to get to the heart of treating pain<BR><BR>Every one of us will experience pain, be it back pain, the pain of childbirth, or living in an ageing body. Not a single one of us will escape. But what if everything you thought you knew about pain was wrong?<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and rich patient stories, Rachel Zoffness completely upends the myths we've been told - 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.<BR><BR>Whether you live with chronic pain or know someone who does, this book offers more than insight - it offers an empowering way forward.
