Article by Dr. Evette Rose



This new release reveals what pain is really trying to tell you — and how to heal it for good.


For decades, chronic pain sufferers have been told to manage their condition through medication, surgery, or symptom-based interventions. Yet millions continue to suffer, despite countless appointments, escalating prescriptions, and mounting frustration. Why?Because the root cause of pain often isn’t being treated — or even recognized.

“Pain isn’t just physical,” Rose writes. “It’s emotional. It’s energetic. It’s personal. And most importantly — it’s solvable.”





A Mind-Body Healing Blueprint

What sets Solving Pain Without Pills apart is its integration of neuroscience, somatic healing, and trauma resolution. The book explores how the vagus nerve, polyvagal theory, and stress-induced dysregulation influence chronic pain (Porges, 2011).Rose explains how traumatic imprints stored in the subconscious nervous system continue to trigger fight-flight-freeze responses, long after the threat has passed — keeping the body locked in survival mode and amplifying pain.




Inside the Book, Readers Will Learn:

→ How emotional trauma, stress, and repressed grief impact the nervous system and pain pathways→ Why conventional medicine often fails to identify the true origin of pain→ Tools to retrain the brain’s pain response through neuroplasticity and emotional regulation techniques→ How breathwork, somatic tracking, and self-inquiry can calm the nervous system→ Real-life stories of individuals who overcame debilitating pain without medication

Research supports this integrative approach. For example, interventions that include emotional awareness, expressive writing, and mind-body regulation have been shown to significantly reduce pain severity (Lumley & Schubiner, 2019).Furthermore, somatic-based therapies like body scan meditation, guided imagery, and nervous system retraining can downregulate sympathetic arousal and restore balance (Garland et al., 2019).




Who This Book Is For

Solving Pain Without Pills is a vital resource for anyone living with:

  • Chronic back pain

  • Migraines and tension headaches

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Medically unexplained symptoms

  • Autoimmune-related pain

  • Emotional burnout or trauma-related symptoms


It’s also ideal for professionals in the fields of integrative medicine, mental health, coaching, or physical therapy who want to deepen their understanding of the emotional body.
