This book challenges our current understanding of pain experience and recognizes that pain without a clear physical explanation is still physically valid. It demonstrates that all pain is a combination of psychological and physical factors. By drawing from the human givens approach, which emphasizes the fulfillment of essential emotional needs and the proper utilization of innate resources, the author showcases how lives filled with pain, whether of known or unknown origin, can be transformed into fulfilling and productive ones. The book is written in a down-to-earth, empathetic, and accessible style, providing techniques for relaxation, identifying and overcoming barriers to recovery, diagnosing the persistence of pain, preventing black-and-white thinking and catastrophizing, adopting an empowering perspective, and utilizing the imagination positively to alleviate pain. Numerous encouraging case histories are included to demonstrate how others have successfully overcome various severe and enduring pain conditions, even those of long-standing duration.
