The MindBody Workbook: Volume Two: Thirty Days of Guided Journaling and Affirmations for Chronic Pain, Stress, and Other Disorders (Unabridged‪)‬

This workbook offers listeners 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 disorders. This workbook also features sections on self-compassion, self-esteem, and gratitude that have proven utility in helping you feel better and heal.

The author, Dr. David Schechter, a former student of Dr. John Sarno, has previously written a workbook that guides the listener through a process of insight and awareness to harness the mindbody connection. His co-author, Justin Barker, Psy.D. has helped him create a more psychologically powerful volume two, where they have included daily affirmations along with journaling.

The MindBody Workbook; Volume Two is designed to work before or after the use of the original MindBody workbook. It can be used completely independently, or alongside Dr. Schechter's book Think Away Your Pain, and the online course "The MindBody Healing Journey". The latter was co-created with Justin Barker, Psy.D., a psychologist.

Journaling has been shown through decades of research and clinical experience to be one of the most effective and cost-effective methods to alleviating conditions in which the mind/brain/emotions play a role. As noted above, this includes chronic pain and other disorders which are "functional" in nature, or more related to the brain, neural pathways, or emotions then they are to biochemical or structural disorders in the body or organ systems.

If you download this audiobook, be prepared to answer the questions in a notebook, computer, tablet, or by voice recording. Research has shown the effectiveness of journaling is based upon your doing something with the answers (writing, recording), not just thinking about the answers.
