A key strategy in the management of any chronic pain condition is understanding the causes and triggers of your pain. “The Explain Pain Handbook: Protectometer” has been written by David Butler and Lorimer Moseley, two leaders in the treatment and management of chronic pain, to give patients and therapists an interactive way of exploring each patient’s unique pain story. The book introduces the concept of the Protectometer, a tool used to explore and identify how things interact in your life to influence your pain. The tool asks readers to identify DIM’s (Danger In Me) and SIM’s (Safety In Me), allowing the reader to explore things that may feed into a worsening pain story (DIMs) and things that help quieten the pain system down (SIMs).
If you have been living with pain and are looking to make a change, this book will offer helpful insights to help you understand your pain, with practical advice so you can get to work on overcoming your pain.
