Pain & pain management

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? Mindfulness and Self-Compassion for Chronic Pain is Dr. Christiane Wolf’s radically clear, evidence-based guide to relieving chronic pain with mindfulness, complete with twenty-three 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.
