Description

A rich and rewarding life is possible for those of us who live with chronic pain.

Based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), one of the most promising and fastest growing psychotherapies being practiced today, this book breaks with conventional notions of pain management.

These "feel good" approaches-including the use of pain-killing medication-all work to prevent painful sensations.

The ACT approach, however, begins with the assumption that pain is a normal part of living that teaches us a lot about the state of our bodies and minds.

Attempts to avoid it often cause more harm than good.

By accepting and learning to live with pain, you limit the control it exerts over you.

Mindfulness exercises, in particular, help you transform pain from a life-defining preoccupation to a simple experience.

From this strong position, you can make choices that will lead to the life you've always wanted.

Committed action is the way to make it happen.
