I have had an ongoing headache for 8 years. I cannot remember a time when my head didn't hurt. I have a therapist and psychiatrist and a medical doctor and everything seems to fail. My saving grace is that I live alone now and it keeps my family still loving me. I can get out of control when the pain is beyond my threshold. I like your tips.  sam

Chronic Pain Is Real
Chronic pain, whether of mind or body, is real -- and the suffering can be intense. I really appreciate your drawing attention to chronic pain, and suggesting some ways of dealing with it. One guy I think has a really good handle on chronic pain is John Kabat-Zinn, who is associated with the University of Mass. Stress Reduction Laboratory. He has developed approaches of mindfulness, based on ancient Buddhist practices, which have proven effective at reducing chronic pain, while increasing life satisfaction. Sometimes pain of the mind, as when someone is caught up in intense and complex grief, is harder than physical chronic pain to deal with. Kabat-Zinn deals with both. Thanks again for a great article.
