Regain control of your life, regain control of your pain. Chronic pain can be extremely debilitating, but it doesn't have to dominate your life. This self-help book is based on effective self-help methods developed by experts and used in pain management programs in communities and hospitals.

Your pain experience can be significantly reduced by regulating daily activities, reducing stress, learning relaxation techniques, and effectively managing depression, anxiety, anger, and frustration.

This easy-to-use book includes:

• Why pain may persist when there is no injury or illness
• How you can become healthier and regulate your activities
• Practical ways to improve sleep and relaxation
• Tips on returning to work, studying, and achieving a life you deserve

The "Overcoming" self-help guides use clinically proven techniques for treating persistent and debilitating conditions, both psychological and physical.
