We can move the dial on pain

Leading expert Rachel Zoffness bridges the gap between medicine and psychology to get to the heart of treating pain

Every one of us will experience pain, be it back pain, the pain of childbirth, or living in an ageing body. Not a single one of us will escape. But what if everything you thought you knew about pain was wrong?

We’ve been told that pain is purely physical, something to do just with bones and body parts. The truth is that pain is constructed by the brain – influenced not just by injuries, but also by emotions, expectations and environment. This means you have infinitely more control over pain than you ever imagined: because if the brain can change, pain can change.

Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and rich patient stories, Rachel Zoffness completely upends the myths we’ve been told – finally reconnecting physical and emotional pain, and providing a roadmap for healing. The fact is that chronic pain is treatable. But to do that, we must target the whole person, not just a body part.

Whether you live with chronic pain or know someone who does, this book offers more than insight – it offers an empowering way forward.

For some reason, it cuts off about half way through. It's says finished but the ebook has another 100+ pages left. It's completely missing Part 3, which is the main part of the helpful toolkit this book provides and therefore, it's a bit useless. It ends at the end of chapter 8, the last sentence is about hollywood. So Chapter nine is missing. So you're missing a lot and it is very frustrating as the book itself is interesting and hopefully helpful. I am really confused on where the other half of the book has gone.

The rest of the book is missing?

The audible is missing the third part of the book - it is missing about 4 or 5 chapters
