Summary

Psychologist Carly Hunt has devoted her career to understanding chronic pain--what causes it, how it keeps going long after the body has healed from injury or illness, and, most crucially, how sufferers can reclaim their lives. State-of-the-art neuroscientific research reveals suprising new insights into pain as the brain's alarm system, designed to warn us of danger. When that alarm gets stuck in a high-alert mode, Dr. Hunt shows how a range of proven interventions can help sufferers not only cope with pain, but actively reduce it. This concise, practical guide is packed with information about brain training techniques, lifestyle changes that target inflammation and other pain triggers, resources for self-care and support, and conventional and complementary medicine approaches that readers can weave into their own integrative care plan. Freedom from chronic pain is possible--this compassionate book shows how.
