Leading pain expert Dr. Rachel Zoffness bridges the gap between medicine and psychology to get to the heart of understanding—and treating—pain—Tell Me Where It Hurts is The Body Keeps the Score for chronic pain.

Rooted in cutting-edge neuroscience and rich patient stories, Tell Me Where It Hurts upends myths, finally reconnecting physical and emotional pain, and provides a roadmap for healing. Chronic pain is treatable, but to do that, doctors must target the whole person, not just a body part.
