Learn how to live well with pain 'An invaluable resource for all sufferers of chronic pain.' Christine Padesky, bestselling author of Mind Over Mood Chronic pain can be extremely challenging in many ways, both physically and emotionally, yet it does not need to dominate your life. This guide is based on highly effective self-help methods developed by specialists and used in community and hospital pain management programmes. Your experience of pain is greatly reduced by pacing daily activities, reducing stress, learning relaxation techniques and effective ways to cope with depression, anxiety, worry, anger and frustration. This easy-to-follow book sets out: Â· Why pain can persist when there's no injury or disease present. Â· How to become fitter and pace your activities, progress valued goals. Â· Practical ways to improve sleep and relaxation, and lessen moods and unhelpful thinking patterns. Â· Ways to be more accepting and steadily create a life you value. Living Well self-help guides use clinically proven techniques to treat long-standing and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical. Series Editor: Professor Kate Harvey
