ANNOUNCING MY NEW BOOK: Your Pain is a Superpower, Learn to Use it Wisely

Are you ready to unleash your Superpowers? 

The purpose of Your Pain is a Superpower, Learn to Use it Wisely is to inform and shift current cultural paradigms around how we view pain and its treatment, and to empower YOU to relate to your pain in ways that will improve your condition, and possibly all dimensions of your life. The book is a compilation of things I’ve observed and learned over the course of my career, combined with easy to follow techniques I’ve developed to help people have more agency and understanding when it navigating their pain. 

For example, when it comes to managing and healing our pain and injuries, from an early age we’ve been conditioned to place most of the authority on health care providers – like me!  While it makes sense to defer to experts – people who have dedicated much of their lives to learning the specifics of their craft – YOU are the expert of YOU and only you can know the innumerable nuances that may be playing a part in your discomfort. Your Pain is a Superpower includes multiple ways to connect to some of the layers of your “beautifully complicated” self that may be playing a part in prolonging your pain or chronic pain.  Through this process you will build your “Wisdom Quotient” – a term I have coined to express the sum of your intellectual and emotional intelligence with your life experiences over time. Your unique “WQ” is one of your most powerful superpowers, and pain is a natural conduit to building it – IF you know how.

In essence, the point of the book is to unlock your and your body’s heroic healing powers. I hope you give it a try and that it is of benefit to you and those around you. 

 
 
 
 
 

We had a hoot celebrating the book’s launch this summer in Boulder, Colorado.

180 Superhumans caped up and engaged in Supergames and Superpower Stations while consuming various Superpotions and Supersnacks - such as (healthy) powershots and lightning bolt cookies.

Even the dog had fun! Check out the highlight video!

Your Pain is A Superpower, Introduction Excerpt

 

Like all doctors, upon graduating from school, I knew a lot of healthcare technique and information - anatomy, physiology, and pathology. Unlike many doctors, though, I knew even in school that there was more to human beings — those who would someday come to my office for care — than just their physical bodies… more than just their symptoms, tests and examination results.

That very word — “care”— caught my attention early on. I wanted to care about my patients. Not just care about their symptoms but care about them as people. As I came to understand, people have symptoms — i.e., illnesses and issues. But symptoms, illnesses and issues don’t have people! “People” are a factor, an equally important if not more important factor, than their symptoms. 

So I embarked on a journey of learning more and more about people. Yes, I continued to add to my knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology and health techniques. But I also avidly continued to learn as much as I could, and continue to do so, about the incredibly complex, beautifully complicated creatures we call “people”.
