Heal your pain

Reading Recommendations for People with Chronic Pain

Drs. Annemarieke Fleming and Dr. Joke Vollebregt

"Just learn to live with it" is a message no one with chronic pain wants to hear. Yet, this is the reality for many who deal with long-term, severe pain daily, while doctors often cannot find a clear explanation for the symptoms.

In Pijn & het Brein, Annemarieke Fleming and Joke Vollebregt provide answers to the question of what exactly happens in the body with chronic pain. The brain plays a crucial role in how pain is experienced, even when no physical cause can be found. This book offers both scientific explanations and practical insights into the brain's influence on pain and the development of chronic conditions.

For people with chronic pain, this book provides valuable self-management tools, such as activity pacing and the restoration of depleted energy reserves. It is an essential resource for those who want to better understand what is happening in their body and how to alleviate their symptoms.

Pain & the Brain is not only an important resource for patients but also for therapists and healthcare professionals who work with people suffering from medically unexplained pain. It provides them with the necessary knowledge and tools to improve their guidance.

For anyone struggling with chronic pain, this book is a must-read for greater insight and practical strategies to relieve pain and regain control over their well-being.

Drs. Annemarieke Fleming (1974) is a healthcare psychologist at Reade, where she works in the Pain and Behavior cluster. Dr. Joke Vollebregt (1954) is a staff physician in rehabilitation at the same institute.

The book is available in Dutch at many bookstores.

Dr. Howard Schubiner

The volunteer team of the Emovere Foundation has dedicated the past few months to working on the Dutch translation of the groundbreaking book Unlearn Your Pain by Dr. Howard Schubiner. The result is the Dutch workbook Herprogrammeer je brein en heel je pijn (Reprogram Your Brain and Heal Your Pain), which focuses on helping people recover from chronic pain and other long-term issues.

Physical and psychological pain are usually treated separately. However, this is often not the most healing approach, as they are deeply interconnected. The book Herprogrammeer je brein en heel je pijn offers both theory and practical exercises that can help understand and address the underlying emotional and psychological causes of pain.

For those struggling with chronic pain or persistent physical complaints, this book offers hope and new perspectives.

Dr. Howard Schubiner is a physician, specialist in internal medicine, and expert in Mind-Body Medicine. He is a co-founder of the Association for Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms (ATNS), a U.S.-based foundation for psychophysiological disorders. Dr. Schubiner is the author of Unlearn Your Pain, Unlearn Your Anxiety and Depression, and co-author of Hidden From View with Dr. Allan Abbass.
