Learn more"Mindfulness and compassion practices should be in everybody's toolbox for a happier and healthier life. [This] book is essential reading for providers who treat chronic illnesses and for those suffering from them." —Arianna Huffington
Pain can be a big, unwieldy box that we struggle to carry all day. But what if we could put down this box, unpack it, and tackle the contents one by one? Outsmart Your Pain is Dr. Christiane Wolf's radically clear, evidence-based guide to relieving chronic pain with mindfulness, complete with twenty easy guided meditations and self-compassion practices, including:
● rewriting the "pain story" you tell yourself
● practicing loving acceptance of your body as it is
● mindfully working through negative emotions
● strengthening your inner and outer support systems.
By separating your pain from the stressful thoughts and troubled feelings that come with it, you can lay down your burden and live with joy.
