Run to the Pain

HOW IS THE PAIN IN YOUR HEART REFLECTING IN YOUR LIFE?

Why do you keep experiencing toxic or broken relationships? You are upset with your current partner over something a previous partner did. You haven''t gone to the gravesite or the bedroom of that loved one who transitioned. You stopped enjoying the taste of your favorite dessert or smelling those flowers you loved so dearly. You haven''t spoken to a parent or sibling after they betrayed your trust, and it''s keeping you up at night. You had a falling out with one of your children, and you''re devastated by the state of your bond. You isolate from others, you no longer have a desire to experience joy, and you put up "Pooky" numbers when you weigh yourself on a scale lately because you just don''t have an appetite.

People close to you keep telling you to talk to a professional about your anger, but you won''t listen. You would rather drink beer, smoke cigarettes or an illicit substance before you dare speak to a stranger about your feelings. You really don''t like the idea of "medications," but Heinekens, Vodka, Wine, Newports, Tylenol 3, "Gas," or "Lean" will do the trick just fine. If this is you, Behavioral-Health Expert Dr. Robert L. Evans III says, "Don''t fool yourself into believing you don''t like medications!"

In Run to the Pain, Dr. Evans shows you how you prolong your healing by running away from your pain. For those of you who have "conditioned" yourself to manage pain by ignoring it with the hopes that time will heal it, please don''t be shocked to learn that you have only given that pain permission to operate in your life using unanticipated methods. Dr. E. exposes the tricks pain will use to control you!

Learn how to "recondition" your maladaptive approach to pain management and begin to use the trauma and hardship of your life as motivation for change, building blocks of resiliency and opportunities to become a new and improved version of yourself. Dr. E. gives you the cheat codes to manage the "waves of adversity" that you will surely face.
