Tell me where it hurts : the science of pain and how to heal

Zoffness, Rachel2026
Book
We are in the middle of a pain epidemic. Yet for decades, we've misunderstood what pain actually is. The result? Millions stuck in a cycle of suffering. But what if we've been asking the wrong questions? In this provocative, paradigm-shifting book, pain psychologist Dr Rachel Zoffness radically reframes the way we understand pain. Drawing on fascinating case studies from her own practice and the latest scientific research, she explains why pain isn't simply a symptom of injury - it's shaped by your thoughts, your past, your stress levels, your relationships, even your expectations. With cutting-edge neuroscience, psychology and game-changing concepts, she demonstrates that pain is not simply a sign of damage; it's a protective mechanism designed by your brain. And this is good news: because if the brain can change, pain can change.
