About this listen
With a better understanding of healing, we can change the paradigm of treating and preventing chronic pain and disease.
While conventional Western medicine tends to treat the body and mind as separate entities, scientific evidence proves that physical, spiritual, and psychological aspects of the self affect one another on a profound level. This audiobook explains the science that tells us that only when these deeper spiritual and emotional issues are addressed can true healing from suffering and pain begin.
- Learn why simply treating symptoms is an ineffective way to address pain and illnesses, even if at first glance the problem appears to be strictly physical.
- Reaffirm what you realize intrinsically: that you are a whole person with physical, spiritual, and psychological aspects that all affect one another.
- Learn how and why guilt, shame, and other long-repressed feelings can continue to plague a person long after the immediately apparent emotional distresses have subsided, over time creating imbalances such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, and high blood pressure - or in more serious ways, such as chronic intractable pain or other severe illnesses.
After 30 years treating military and civilian patients with chronic and acute pain and associated disorders, Dr. Anita Hunt Hickey shares profound wisdom and insights of the “secrets” behind how to heal from intractable, complex pain that although published in scientific journals and books are not taught to most doctors nor found in standard wellness curricula. Her astonishingly simple and transformative program provides an easy-to-follow path to healing from suffering and pain.

Story
Alan Gordon, a psychotherapist and the founder of the Pain Psychology Center in Los Angeles, was in grad school when he started experiencing chronic pain and it completely derailed his life. He saw multiple doctors and received many diagnoses, but none of the medical treatments helped. Frustrated with conventional pain management, he developed Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a mind-body protocol that eliminated his own chronic pain and has transformed the lives of thousands of his patients.

Story
Despite being relatively unheard of, endometriosis affects an estimated one in 10 women worldwide. That's roughly 190 million people, and due to misdiagnosis, there's likely many more who are suffering without treatment. Getting a diagnosis of endometriosis can feel like a blessing and a curse. Knowing that you're not going crazy or blowing things out of proportion can be a huge relief. However, a diagnosis can also lead to feelings of isolation and discouragement - especially when you’re faced with treatment options that seem extreme. But don't despair - you aren't alone.

"I'm going down now", I said to a young woman a few seconds before the darkness-my first cardiac arrest. As I returned to work as a behavioral coach, it became maddening to hear about all-consuming, everyday problems and misguided priorities while I fought to merely remain conscious. The Half-Known Life challenges conventional thinking of success, identity, and personal change. Most often, truly profound change happens following events that shake someone to their core-a car accident, death of a family member, or cardiac arrest that pulls them into a moment of clarity.
