The MindBody Workbook Volume 2

Journaling can help you heal from chronic pain. A lot of people need help knowing what to write about.

When I treat people for chronic pain and other neuroplastic symptoms, one of the most common questions I get is, Should I Journal? There are over 1,000 research studies demonstrating the value of journaling for psychological and medical issues. Journaling can be very effective. However, for a lot of people, just trying to write with no direction or guidance doesn’t feel very useful.

When Dr. Schechter and I decided to write The MindBody Workbook Volume 2, our goal was to provide people with questions to reflect on that we believe can be extremely impactful to get at the roots of mind body pain and symptoms. This was shaped by our over 45 years of combined clinical and medical experience.

The Workbook offers a 30-day structured journal to identify, express, and process psychological issues that may be causing back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, tension headaches, TMJ, and other physical disorders. In addition to prompts to help you get at core psychological and emotional drivers of pain, we have included sections on self-compassion, self-esteem, and gratitude that have proven utility in helping you feel better and heal. Daily affirmations are also integrated to help your mind have the right attitude towards healing.

The MindBody Workbook Volume Two is designed to be used before or after completing the original MindBody Workbook. It can be utilized completely independently, or alongside Dr. Schechter's book Think Away Your Pain or with the online video course The MindBody Healing Journey that Dr. Schechter and I created.
