Title: Ouch!
Description: Pain seems like a fairly straightforward experience - you get hurt and it, well, hurts. But how would you describe it? Most of the time, the way we treat pain is superficial -- we seek out states of perfect painlessness by avoiding it at all costs, or suppressing it, usually with drugs. Ouch! paints a new picture of pain as a complex and multi-layered phenomenon, recommending steps to build a healthy relationship with pain and how we communicate about it.
