Outsmart Your Pain: Mindfulness and Self-Compassion to Help You Leave Chronic Pain Behind, (Hardcover)

Pain can be a big, unwieldy box that we struggle to carry all day. But what if we could put down this box, unpack it, and tackle the contents one by one? Outsmart Your Pain is Dr. Christiane Wolf's radically clear, evidence-based guide to relieving chronic pain with mindfulness, complete with twenty easy guided meditations and self-compassion practices, including:

• rewriting the "pain story" you tell yourself
• practicing loving acceptance of your body as it is
• mindfully working through negative emotions
• strengthening your inner and outer support systems.

By separating your pain from the stressful thoughts and troubled feelings that come with it, you can lay down your burden and live with joy.
