Tell me where it hurts : the new science of pain and how to heal / Rachel Zoffness, PhD.
"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."-- Publisher's website.
