The Pain Secret

""Miriam has captured the essence of deep healing, where your body heals itself with you in charge."" -David Hanscom, M.D., author of Back in Control: A Spine Surgeon's Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain ""The Pain Secret is an intelligent, compassionate, and courageous exploration of the mindbody connection and its role in chronic pain and persistent symptoms. Miriam's experience from patient to practitioner, from disbelief to embodiment, is a compelling testament to what is possible when we merge deep personal insight with professional expertise and lived experience. She invites us to question long-standing medical assumptions and open our minds to a far more integrative and empowering approach to pain recovery. Miriam doesn't shy away from the complexity of psychophysiological pain, nor does she over-simplify it. Instead, she skillfully guides readers through a layered understanding of how chronic symptoms can often be protective adaptations rooted in trauma, emotional suppression, or unmet needs; what we now understand as mindbody Syndrome. This book is more than a personal triumph, it's a reclamation of power for the millions living with persistent pain and unexplained symptoms who have been told there is no answer. The Pain Secret is a deeply important contribution to the future of mindbody healing, and a powerful reminder that real healing starts from within."" -Viki Thondley, Therapist, Educator, Writer, and Founder of the award-winning MindBodyFood Institute, where science meets soul and transforms lives ""Miriam is a pioneer in the field of chronic pain coaching. Not only has she helped countless people make breakthroughs with their symptoms and take back their lives, but she's also been at the forefront of training the next generation of chronic pain coaches. The deep wisdom and tangible strategies she shares in The Pain Secret will help you resolve your symptoms, live a more fulfilling life, and do what your symptoms are ultimately calling you to do: grow and transform into a more powerful, authentic version of yourself"". -Alec Kassin, The Injured Athlete's Comeback Coach, Co-Founder, Pain Free Comeback ""Miriam's book will now assist many on their chronic pain healing journey. In The Pain Secret, Miriam reveals all parts of herself to the reader and she does this in the most authentic way. Through her ups and downs, ins and outs, from the climbing crag to finding healing along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, Miriam takes us along on her personal emotional dance. ""Miriam proves to us readers that we can embrace healing in our own authentic way and embark on our own personal emotional climb. This will inspire, motivate, and educate pain sufferers with hope, belief, the science and art of recovery from chronic pain and other neuroplastic symptoms."" -Dr Tovah Goldfine, Doctor of Chiropractic, Specialty in Recovery from Neuroplastic and TMS Chronic Pain & Autoimmune Symptoms
