Pain Resources
Pain becomes a worrisome experience when the person doesn’t understand what is happening, has no control, and puts the things on hold that gives him/her meaning.
Pain, especially in persistent cases, is a cyclical process which definitely can be unlearned. Building up the capacity and resources within yourself and by understanding your pain in the context of your life, you can break this pain cycle.
Below are helpful resources to beef up your control on pain and start getting your life back. I will edit and add more resources that I personally recommend and feel are helpful:
