The ability to recover from pain, no matter how long we have experienced it, lies within all of us.
It exists within you.
Not everyone knows how to achieve that. Do you? Those who do recover intuitively tap into that ability without thinking. Others don’t know where to look, then look everywhere outside of themselves, then believe recovery is impossible and finally stop looking anymore.
Has that happened to you?

“The two words that sprang to my mind when reading the book were simple and inspirational ...
Simple - you have successfully taken some pretty complex and unusual concepts and managed to unpack them into manageable chunks and presented those in accessible and understandable language. It’s a long time since I could claim to read this type of work from a lay perspective, but it certainly reads like lay language to me.
Inspirational - your positive but still compassionate attitude shines through. I find this exceptional. In my experience, a lot of what is written and said, in the alternative/non-mainstream/self-help/non-medical therapy kind of area (and I expect this is where a lot will place and contextualise this book - whether you intended that or not!) includes a positive attitude - but - a positive attitude that is rooted in and grows from, a glib oversimplification and lack of empathy for those who are suffering. It's very easy to be positive if you don't really feel and embrace the reasons why someone else feels negative - your book is exceptional in avoiding that!

“The book flows well and is readable at all levels, both academic, non-academic , medical, and laypersons. It is pitched perfectly. I Loved ‘Smelly Margaret’ from Darlington- made me smile 😃. Absolutely Amazing book - well done, I am sure the book will be an amazing success.”
Debbie Arkley – Physiotherapist
“This book is absolutely amazing. I work with chronic pain sufferers as a therapist, and I personally have recurring migraines. This perspective on pain is similar to what's already out there but with a fresh take that gave me a lot to think about.
I used some of the exercises in this book, focused on my own migraines, and experienced some interesting breakthroughs and transformations regarding the origin and nature of my pain.
I am always a bit hesitant to recommend books to my clients because few people want to hear that their pain is likely psychosomatic or learned pain, but it's often so true that our mental state both increases and prolongs our pain even when there is a physical cause.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone with chronic pain who wants to learn to have a new, more compassionate relationship to their pain (and hopefully release some of what's keeping the pain around).
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.”
Jessica Brohmer – Therapist
“The Pain Habit is a great resource for people living with chronic pain. In fact, because it is based on the pain science evidence base, it is also a valuable resource for health professionals working in the chronic pain field.
Drew Coverdale explains how pain 'is one of our greatest protectors and our greatest teacher' and throughout the book Drew references the evidence supporting his suggestions yet explains everything in a very easy-to-digest way that every reader will be able to relate to.”
