Synopsis

Healing Physical and Emotional Trauma, A Key to Long-Term Pain Relief

For those suffering chronic pain—even after years of surgery, rehabilitation and medication—only one question matters: How do I find lasting relief?With Freedom from Pain, two pioneers in the field address a crucial missing factor essential to long-term recovery—healing the unresolved emotional trauma held within the body.

The path out of pain is unique for each one of us, explain Peter Levine and Maggie Phillips. It’s a labyrinth shaped by physical injury, genetics, learned responses, and—crucially—prior traumatic events and suppressed emotions. When all of these elements are successfully addressed, true recovery becomes possible. This program will help you to initiate that shift.

Informed by their founding work in the Somatic Experiencing® process and unique insights gleaned from decades of clinical success, Drs. Levine and Philips will show you how to:

Calm the body’s over-reactive "fight" response to pain
• Release the fear, frustration, and depression intensified by prior traumas
• Build inner resilience and self-regulation
• Relieve pain caused by the aftermath of injuries, surgical procedures, joint and muscle conditions, migraines, and more
Whether you’re seeking to begin a self-care strategy or amplify your current treatment program, Freedom from Pain will provide you with proven tools to help you experience long-term relief.

Course objectives:

Discuss how to release the fear, frustration, and depression intensified by prior traumas, thereby lessening pain in the body.
• Apply the founding work of the Somatic Experiencing process to relieve pain caused by the aftermath of injuries, surgical procedures, joint and muscle conditions, migraines, and more.
• Practice exercises that build inner resilience and self-regulation supporting recovery from pain syndromes.
• Utilize exercises to calm the body's over-reactive fight response to pain and other proven tools to help you experience long-term relief.

Goodreads review by Başak on October 10, 2023

Bu kitabı fizik tedaviye başladığım sürede okudum. Kitapta bahsedilen ağrı günlüğünü tutmaya ve fizik tedavimi yapan doktor & hemşire & fizyoterapist ile aramda güçlü, şeffaf bir bağ kurmaya çalıştım.. Sadece bu ikisi bile süreci çok rahat geçirmemi sağladı. Kitapta; kopma/kaygı/panik ve korku anında......more

Goodreads review by Randy Hirt on January 18, 2018

A very different way to look at pain Btw, don't by Kindle version of this book because it doesn't contain audio, as others have noted. With that said, the book is thoughtful, insightful and obviously written by a practitioner who has experienced the trials and tribulations and yes triumphs of the pain......more
