Breaking Beta: Your pathway out of suffering physical and emotional pain is a practical guide that introduces a novel and transformative approach for those feeling trapped in the relentless cycle of chronic pain. Based on extensive readings, observations and clinical experiences, author George Dellas has come to an understanding that our perception of physical and emotional pain, which underpins chronic suffering, originates in infancy and is shaped by the beliefs of our caregivers, becoming what he refers to as our "Beta programs". Dellas compares this formative period of programming to Beta phase testing in computer software development.
However, Dellas reminds us that we are born with innate abilities to survive and thrive, which he calls our "Alpha programs". He provides readers with three manageable approaches for Becoming Aware of these programs. Inspired by rock climbing terminology, Dellas refers to this awareness process "Breaking Beta".
Drawing on the biopsychosocial model of pain, neuroplasticity principles, the neurophysiology of chronic pain development, and habit-forming theory, Dellas offers realistic opportunities for Breaking Beta - initiating the transition out of physical and emotional pain. His six steps to C.R.E.A.T.E. and thoughtfully designed habit-forming program, along with a treasure trove of cost-free strategies, prepares readers for Making a Choice and Actioning with Direction towards their unique Alpha "thriving state".
Dellas parallels this transition to Alpha phase testing in computer programming, unlocking the ability to rewrite our story of pain. This book guides readers from the "survival state" of chronic pain to embracing a vibrant and joyous innate "thriving state". Just as computer programmer would tell us, the Alpha program arising from Alpha phase testing is just the beginning.
An indispensable resource for anyone seeking wellness, Breaking Beta reconnects readers to the transformative potential of their innate Alpha "thriving state", marking the start of something yet to be imagined. With over 30 years of experience as a respected allied healthcare practitioner, George Dellas authored this book to extend his well-regarded approach to alleviating the physical and emotional suffering associated with chronic pain beyond the clinic, assisting more individuals in achieving lasting wellness.
