PAIN AND SUFFERING Michael Meegan

PAIN

Here is a summary of Mike Meegans upcoming book about PAIN

In this book Michael Meegan shares insights into human pan.

PAIN is central to our human experience – we are all in some form of pain, much of the time. Although often misunderstood, physical pain is generally contained in modern healthcare. But our pain is not only physical. Fear, depression, anxiety, failure, tragedy and rejection are parts of the same experience. There are many types of suffering. Through an honest and intimate examination of pain you are or will experience we are going to show you effective ways of understanding and growing from pain.

This is foremost a book of opportunity its about light and hope written by two people who have vast experience of human pain. We are all at different stages of dying and this requires our full attention not our denial. We are all going to see those who we love, every friend, and every member of our family, experience pain. And they too will see ours. We are all in a sense at different stages of dying, but at a cultural and social level, we avoid, evade and deny pain, our own as well as that of others, and we do not want to accept death.

We don’t really want to deal with pain. This book opens the door on our deepest fears, and begins to explain them in all their forms. It is important that we remove the mask and break through the taboos of pain, to see what actually happens to us and why. PAIN, will help readers to choose alternative ways to live and to encounter their suffering differently.

In PAIN, we put forward a radically different idea of managing our hurts and fears. We examine the different ways we cope with pain, and we detail what works, and what does not work. We explore experiences of loneliness, injury, trauma and illness, as well as the biochemical effects of pain in all its forms. In a society crippled by pain and our attempts to deal with it, this is not a philosophy of pain but a practical, day-to-day approach to managing that we are. With examples drawn from every part of our lives, the book explains how pain works and what it does. It covers everything from emotional and imagined pain to referred and self-induced triggers.

Everyone needs to read this book. We all taste some degree of pain
Every day, some kind of suffering, and we need to build a healthier relationship. With our pain, and ultimately with ourselves. This book will take the reader through their different types of suffering, explain it physically, medically and give an honest often challenging alternative to common ways of responding to the experience.

Written by people who have spent decades dealing with human suffering this book is the most informed direct and real insight into your pain you have ever read. It talks about every type of pain . Whether emotional, physical, sexual or spiritual, all anguish actual or imaginary is real. This book examines the drivers and feeders of pain external and internal, it looks at the social and private energies that cultivate our suffering and the fears that mask it. In plain English it explores the ideas of pain, our escapes and painkillers, our fascination with traps and illusions. We explain the different ways pain is managed emotionally, clinically and personally.

In this book we are going to take the reader by the hand and walk them through every aspect of their inevitable experiences ranging from loss, trauma, grief, illness and dying. We will help them to find hope and clarity, confidence and healing, through real examples and case studies written in plain English.
