You're Not Broken: How to Reconnect with Your Body and Heal Chronic Pain from the Inside Out

Chronic pain changes more than the body. It can reshape how you think, how you move, and how safe you feel in your own skin.

In You're Not Broken, Lisa M. Cerutti offers a compassionate new path forward: one that helps readers reconnect with their bodies, understand the deeper patterns behind pain, and begin healing from the inside out.

Drawing from her experience as a physical therapist, aquatic therapist, and somatic breathwork practitioner, Cerutti invites readers to move beyond fear, frustration, and disconnection into a more grounded relationship with their bodies. This is not a message of blame or quick fixes. It is a message of hope: your body is not your enemy, and you are not broken.

This book is for anyone living with chronic pain who is ready to explore a more holistic, body-aware approach to healing: one rooted in reconnection, compassion, and inner restoration.

Inside, readers will discover how to:

• reconnect with the body in safe and practical ways
• understand chronic pain through a more integrated lens
• break cycles of fear, tension, and disconnection
• support healing through somatic awareness and breath
• move toward greater peace, resilience, and hope

If you have felt trapped in pain, discouraged by setbacks, or disconnected from your own body, this book offers a gentler, wiser way forward.
