About this audiobook
Book Summary
The brain has a powerful alarm system designed to protect the body from danger. When something is wrong, this alarm sends pain signals to warn us that attention is needed.
But sometimes the alarm does not turn off.
Even after an injury heals or the body becomes safe again, the brain may continue sending signals of pain, pressure, stabbing sensations, or nerve discomfort. This ongoing alarm can leave people feeling trapped in a cycle of constant awareness and frustration.
The Brain’s Pain Alarm: How to Turn It Off explores why this happens and how the brain sometimes becomes stuck in a protective loop.
Inside this book, readers will learn how the nervous system processes pain signals, why attention and fear can unintentionally amplify those signals, and how the brain can gradually learn to quiet its alarm response.
