Unlearn Your Pain: The Science of Recovering from Chronic Pain, Fatigue, Anxiety, and Depression

Dive into the neuroscience of chronic pain with “Unlearn Your Pain” by Howard Schubiner MD — essential reading for anyone who has lived with persistent pain that scans, tests, and treatments have failed to resolve.

This comprehensive volume introduces the concept of neuroplastic pain — a condition where the brain continues generating real pain signals long after any original physical injury has healed. Dr. Schubiner, a physician with decades of clinical experience, explains exactly how this happens, what psychological and emotional factors keep the pain cycle running, and what it takes to interrupt it. The programme at the heart of this book combines expressive writing, somatic awareness, and mindset shifts drawn from Pain Reprocessing Therapy and the pioneering work of Dr. John Sarno. Each section builds on the last, guiding readers through a structured recovery process at their own pace.

Whether you are a patient dealing with fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, persistent headaches, IBS, or medically unexplained fatigue, or a clinician looking for new approaches to offer patients who haven’t responded to conventional treatment, this book opens a door that most pain management programmes leave closed. The science is solid, the approach is compassionate, and the results speak for themselves.
