أخبرني أين يؤلمك: علم الألم وكيف نتعافى

Dr. Rachel Zoffness, a leading expert in the field of pain medicine, straddles the divide between medicine and psychology to get to the core of understanding and treating pain, presenting The Body Keeps the Score for Chronic Pain. Everyone of us must experience pain, whether it's back pain, childbirth pain, or aging pain. None of us are immune from it. But what if everything you think you know about pain is wrong? We are told that pain is purely physical, associated only with bones and body parts. But the truth is that the brain creates pain, and is affected not only by injuries, but also by feelings, expectations, and the environment. This means that you have much greater control over pain than you imagined: if the brain can change, pain can change. Drawing on the latest findings in neuroscience and inspiring patient stories, Dr. Rachel Zoffnes debunks the myths we've been sold, reconnecting physical and psychological pain, and offering a road map to recovery. The truth is that chronic pain is treatable. But to achieve this, we must target the person as a whole, not just a part of his body. A groundbreaking and revolutionary book that finally gives us access to the most powerful painkiller in the world: you. "This book is a must-have for anyone who suffers from chronic pain. Through poignant stories and the latest science, Zoffness explains how pain works and why so many treatments fail. Her ultimately hopeful message: By changing the way our brains work, we can relieve our pain. I highly recommend it." \- Anna Lembke, MD, Professor and Medical Director, Stanford University Dual Diagnosis Clinic for Addiction Medicine, author of the New York Times bestseller "Dopamine Nation" Times._ “In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Zufenis debunks old myths about pain and brilliantly reveals new ways to overcome it. Rich with the latest science, this book is essential for doctors and patients alike, and frankly for everyone who suffers from chronic pain.” —William W. Lee, M.D., author of the New York Times bestseller “Eat to Beat Sickness” and a former faculty member at Harvard Medical School**
