Hi Shelley best of luck. What we liked about it was listening to some of the chatter we tell ourselves doesn't always help and we can use affirmations to pull ourselves onto a better course. Like I said I have malformed legs from an auto accident (oops left that part out) so have some chronic pain. You might look up Substance P too. Our brains make that chemical which tells our brain we have pain and then our brain gets confused always on guard. Anyway bringing in a counter affirmation or even counter substance like hot pepper or biofreeze for me on my legs has helped me lessen the discomfort. Our bodies are complex but why not take on the challenge vs giving up, right? lol

Farmersmith,
I am going to get the book. It sounds like it is using the same ideas that are used in chronic pain management. Your leg pain sounds awful. Unfortunately, the phrase "accidents happen " when it is our body it is "shit happens ". I had 2 recreational accidents in 2005, rogue wave threw me onto a lava rock and then a second wave hit me and I summersaulted; then in the snow, hit a divet, whiplashed my head twice, I truly thought it would fall off my body. These two events permanently damaged my body and destroyed the life I was having. Hey, I have a redundant splenic flexure, which side is yours on? I've learned that 99% of redundant flexures are congenital , yet after all the testing and imaging no dr. ever told me, I found out by discovering it on the radiological report of a CT scan just last year. How did you find out about yours? What part does it play in your medical issues? I'm so glad I found it, my daughter was getting a colonoscopy soon, so she was able to tell the doctor to find out, she did have it, too. All I could do was say I was sorry she inherited my good and my bad genes. You have a much better outlook than I do. I am so 👿💩👿 worn down by some real biggie stuff, medically, that I'm not even really living, I just exist. Shelley
