Pain is often a message from our body to us to slow down and acknowledge what is going on "Mind and Body are intrinsically linked - what affects one affects the other" is one of the Operating Beliefs or Presuppositions of NLP.

We can use NLP to acknowledge the pain and control it in such a way that the body relaxes and so does the mind, enabling healing in a faster and more productive manner. Long term painkillers can be put on one side, thus meaning that when we seriously require painkillers (i.e in the case of severe pain trauma at the onset) the dose can be kept low and short term.

How do we know, there is much NLP evidence to support this and on the spot evidence can be provided by Rosie herself - who left hospital 3 days after major surgery with not so much as one painkiller since the op. She can teach you how!
