This was one of the most lovely and compassionate books on chronic pain that I've ever read. I greatly valued the author's personal experience, insights and very practical steps that can be taken to at least reduce one's daily pain levels. I felt like she introduced just enough information regarding the science of neuroplasticity without being overwhelming. I've started incorporating some of her mental 'reframing' techniques for helping with fear and anxiety regarding pain, as well as some of her other modalities for coping. Her approach was very organized and methodical, and I found the appendices at the end of each chapter (versus the end of the entire book) with information about other publications or websites for further learning to be extremely helpful. All in all, this is a really wonderful book!

A helpful resource written by a chronic pain sufferer who shows that with neuroplasticity and a holistic approach, chronic pain can be managed well. Through her AIM (Affirmation, Image, Management) program, the author was able to get off opioids and retrain her brain to greatly reduce pain and live a much healthier life. Highly recommended!
