Post #16: Tribute to Dr. Howard Schubiner & a Review of his Unlearn Your Pain Books
My friend and mentor, Dr. Howard Schubiner, is a prolific researcher of neuroplastic practices for self-healing many types of debilitating symptoms. When Howard’s new book, Unlearn Your Pain: the Science of Recovering from Chronic Pain, Fatigue, Anxiety, and Depression released on May 26, 2026, I celebrated with him and over 100 other supporters on his Zoom launch party. I couldn’t help but thank Howard for changing my husband’s and my life! Here, I offer a review of Howard’s Unlearn Your Pain books to guide your own self-healing.
