Migraines, back pain, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue and a host of other chronic illnesses have crippled modern populations. For the past twenty years, Dr Howard Schubiner has been conducting clinical trials, writing more than 100 scientific papers and giving lectures to get to the root cause and find out how to reverse these insidious illnesses.

Unlearn Your Pain is the result of this work, revealing Dr Schubiner's life-changing program to effectively treat chronic pain, anxiety and depression.

Drawing on the latest neuroplasticity research and the science behind the mind-body connection, readers will be guided step-by-step towards a new understanding of how the mind affects our pain - both physical and emotional - and how we can take back control to live a pain-free life.

Critic reviews

In Unlearn Your Pain, a master clinician provides a revolutionary approach to understanding and resolving chronic pain and related conditions – an approach as startling in its ingenious simplicity as it is reassuring in its reliance on the latest research about mind, brain and body. (Dr Gabor Mate, bestselling author of The Myth of Normal)
Unlearn Your Pain will change everything you thought you knew about chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, and depression. (Dr Rangan Chatterjee, bestselling author of Make Change That Lasts)
As reflected in this well-written book, Howard Schubiner has devoted his career to relieving people of their physical pain by helping them reverse the ways they relate to it. He describes his approach in a way that is useful to both patients and clinicians and includes impressive research to back it up. (Richard Schwartz Ph.D., developer of Internal Family Systems)
Dr. Howard Schubiner is at the forefront of a paradigm shift in understanding and overcoming chronic pain. (Maria Shriver)
Dr Schubiner combines medicine and neuroscience to explain why most people with chronic pain, anxiety, depression and fatigue have neuroplastic, and therefore reversible, conditions. This book will change your life and the lives of those you care about (Monica Marie Fitzgerald, PhD., director at the Center for Resilience and Well-Being, University of Colorado Boulder Institute of Behavioral Science)
Unlearn Your Pain offers nothing less than liberation from suffering experienced by millions. The powerful examples, clear scientific concepts, research studies, and deep medical wisdom reveal a path to lives of freedom and clarity. (Daniel J. Siegel, MD, author of Aware, Mind and Mindsight and co-author of The Whole Brain Child)
If you have chronic pain or other persistent symptoms, read this book. It just might change your life. (Lorimer Moseley, DSc, PhD., author of Explain Pain and Explain Pain Supercharged)
We often panic about pain, assigning it a horror that may not be warranted. I learned so much from Dr Schubiner’s book about how our thinking is frequently more responsible than our bodies. This is a must read for anyone who is suffering with chronic pain and is a great blueprint for how to correct it. (Mitch Albom, journalist and author of Tuesdays with Morrie)
This book combines Dr Schubiner’s deep clinical expertise with scientific insights that have come to light only in the last few years. The result is an adept fusion of medical knowledge, neuroscientific principles and illuminating case studies. It offers a transformative new way to understand chronic pain for patients and clinicians alike. (Tor D. Wager, PhD, Diana L. Taylor Distinguished Professor of Neuroscience at Dartmouth College)

This book is essential reading for anyone experiencing chronic pain. I have found it incredibly helpful, relieving and also comforting. It contains real pain science, tools and knowledge to help you heal.

I'd been wanting to read this book for a long time, but it was too expensive to ship over to the UK from America. Now that there's a recording on here, it's SO much more accessible for people!

REAL science, REAL tools to heal
