“There have been a lot of advances in our understanding of chronic pain over the previous twenty years. We now realize that taking a pill to reduce pain has been largely ineffective, but reprocessing your central nervous system can reduce your pain and change your life.

“Neurology is a very young science, and like all new scientific undertakings, practitioners often must invent their personal approach to deal with matters that are still difficult to conceive and describe. This interesting workbook does just that as it creatively asks those who suffer chronic pain to think through how reconceptualizing the neurological basis of their pain might serve to eliminate some significant degree of their suffering.”
