For too long, patients suffering with chronic pain have been told 'it's all in your head' - but now, pioneering brain health expert Dr Daniel Amen offers a new understanding of the powerful link between physical pain and emotional trauma.
In Change Your Brain, Change Your Pain, Dr Amen presents a groundbreaking model of care based on 40+ years of clinical experience and over 300,000 brain scans from patients around the world. He introduces the concepts of the doom loop and healing loop to explain how emotional and physical pain fuel each other, and how to break the cycle to reclaim a joyful, pain-free life.
Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, personal case studies and proven clinical protocols, Dr Daniel will help you to:
- Understand the three major brain pain pathways
- Identify your biological, psychological, social and spiritual pain triggers
- Use neuroplasticity and daily habits to rewire your brain for healing
- Harness the power of breathwork, nutrition, supplements, movement and mindset
- Quiet automatic negative thoughts (ANTs) and heal childhood trauma
It's time for a new approach to treating pain. Whether you're suffering from back pain, migraines, fibromyalgia or emotional distress, this audiobook reveals how better brain health leads to decreased need for medical interventions, reduced pain and better life outcomes.
