The Pain Secret: Unlocking the MindBody Connection to Overcome Chronic Pain and Symptoms, (Paperback)

What if all the things you've been doing to try and relieve or prevent your pain are actually making it persist?

From pain relief to pain management strategies, modern-day treatments for chronic pain often leave sufferers feeling let down. But what if there was another way to experience complete freedom from symptoms?

In The Pain Secret, chronic pain Coach Miriam Gauci Bongiovanni outlines a simple pathway that can benefit a myriad of chronic conditions. In this book, you will discover:

1. What leads to the onset of a wide array of chronic symptoms according to emerging research
2. Why pain management strategies and medical labels could end up making symptoms worse
3. The 'secret' triggers behind the persistent symptoms and how to eliminate them
4. How to work with the brain's neuroplasticity to switch off the pain response
5. How to return to unlimited physical activity without pain or fear of pain

Miriam draws on her personal story of recovery from sciatica, shoulder pain, neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia symptoms, and builds on Dr John Sarno's concepts of TMS and further studies conducted in the field of neuroplastic symptoms. The Pain Secret reveals the truth behind why symptoms develop and persist, and guides you through a process of deeper emotional awareness and mindset shifts that will radically change how you think - and act - in relation to your own symptoms.
