Living a Better Life with Chronic Pain: Eliminating Self-Defeating

Behaviors
Certainly no one would choose a pain-filled body over a healthy,
pain-free body. Yet every day, people unwittingly choose actions and
attitudes that contribute to pain or lead to other less-than-desirable
consequences on their health, relationships or ability to function.
These actions and attitudes are what are called self-defeating
behaviors (SDBs) and they keep us from living life to the fullestif
we let them. This course is a self-instructional module that walks
readers through the process of replacing their self-defeating chronic
pain issues with healthy, positive, and productive life-style behaviors.
It progresses from an analysis of the emotional aspects of living with
chronic pain to specific strategies for dealing more productively with
it. Through 16 guided exercises, readers will learn how to identify
their self-defeating behaviors (SDBs), analyze and understand them,
and then replace them with life-giving actions that lead to permanent
behavioral change.
