Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.Sample Book Insights: #1 I received a call from CBS’s The Doctors, a long-running medical talk show produced by Dr. Phil. They wanted to help Casey, a sixteen-year-old with chronic abdominal pain so severe that it would regularly cause him to pass out.#2 I was in my mid-twenties and life was good. I was in graduate school for psychotherapy at USC. I was an outgoing, active guy. But then I developed severe lower back pain, and it completely derailed my life. My symptoms were due to disc degeneration, and no one could help me.#3 I eventually read the book, and it didn’t get rid of my pain, but it opened my mind to the possibility that I could get rid of it. I decided to learn everything there is to know about pain.#4 Pain is always real, and the brain has the ability to affect where, when, and how much pain we experience.
