NEW YORK—August 20, 2019—Morgan James’s new release, Pain Is Not What It Seems: The Guide to Understanding and Healing from Chronic Pain and Suffering, by Anita Hunt Hickey M.D., contains a treasure trove of scientific references supporting an astonishingly simple and transformative path to healing and well-being. While conventional Western medicine tends to treat the body and mind as separate entities, Anita Hunt Hickey exposes the scientific evidence to prove how the physical, spiritual, and psychological aspects of self can affect one another on a profound level. Pain Is Not What It Seems explains the science behind connecting and addressing deeper spiritual and emotional issues in order to cause true healing from suffering and pain.

Written by a Harvard trained Integrative Pain Medicine Physician, Pain Is Not What It Seems is a helpful guide for anyone struggling to treat chronic pain, from patients and athletes to doctors and educators. After thirty years treating military and civilian patients with chronic and acute pain and associated disorders, Dr. Hickey shares profound wisdom and insights about how to heal from intractable complex pain, which—although published in scientific journals and books—is not taught to most doctors nor found in standard wellness curriculums. Hickey’s astonishingly simple and transformative program provides an easy-to-follow path to healing from suffering and pain that reaffirms what those suffering realize intrinsically: they are a whole person and need to be treated as such.

Pain Is Not What It Seems outlines simple techniques shown to change the biochemistry affecting inflammation, the immune system, and the hormonal or endocrine system in measurable ways. Dr. Hickey encourages a deep understanding of why our emotions and beliefs are immensely more powerful tools for healing and reversing the underlying cause of pain than any procedure or medication, as she believes that it is essential to create one’s own optimal environment in order to improve personal ability to heal.
