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, 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, Dr. Zoffness 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.
Whether you live with chronic pain or know someone who does, this book offers more than insight — it offers a way forward. Smart, readable, and refreshingly empowering, this is the pain book we’ve been waiting for.

This book is essential—for anyone living with pain, and for those who care for them.”Dr. Lisa Sanders, New York Times bestselling author of Every Patient Tells a Story
