This resource stresses four concepts: each person with chronic pain is unique; there are many things people with chronic pain can do to feel better and become more active; with knowledge and experimentation, each individual is the best judge of which self-management tools are best; and, the responsibility for managing chronic pain rests with the individual. Acknowledging that overcoming chronic pain is a daily challenge, this workbook provides readers with the tools to overcome that test.
