Breaking the Rules of Pain
REDEFINE AND Empower YourSELF
You’re not broken. You’re not weak.
You’re much stronger and courageous than you think.
Following a traumatic childhood, Amie, now a chronic pain & body empowerment coach, faced many multiple debilitating conditions such as autoimmunity, endometriosis, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. She felt hopeless, frustrated and defeated by a system that continued to let her down. It wasn't until Amie courageously looked outside of Western Medicine that she discovered that the rules of pain she has so blindly trusted were wrong.
"Rule empowers women to transform their pain in power by turning insights into actionable steps. This book encourages women to overcome the invisibility of undiagnosed conditions and confidently advocate for their health. It offers an empowering roadmap for emotional healing, self belief and reclaiming personal power over pain".

"Breaking the Rules of Pain is a courageous and compelling exploration of what it means to live with chronic pain in a world that often fails to understand it. Amie Rule’s lived experience, combined with her deep insight into trauma, embodiment and healing, offers a refreshing and necessary perspective—one that aligns closely with Chronic Pain Australia's mission to elevate all voices of those living with pain.
Amie’s story echoes the voices we hear every day—those seeking validation, compassion, and care that sees the whole person. This book is not just a personal memoir; it is a call to action to shift the conversation around chronic pain and create a more person-centred, compassionate approach to care. We commend Amie for her honesty, advocacy, and dedication to breaking the silence around invisible illness."
Janet Gavrily, Founder - The Chronic Pain Mathod
Breaking The Rules of Pain is more than a memoir - it is a call for reeducation and colloboration. I was deeply moved by Amie's courage and honesty in exposing an outdated system that leaves people who suffer from chronic pain feeling broken and unseen. She offers grounded evidence-based perspective that reframes pain as a communication - the body's way of speaking, not failing. This book should be required reading for anyone working in pain management. It validates patients, challenges practitioners and lights the way towards a more human colloborative model of care.
Breaking the Rules of Pain guides you to view your pain in and any chronic health condition with fresh eyes, showing you:
-
Where the rules of pain came from and why they’re flawed
-
How Western medicine and alternative therapies can complement one another
-
That pain is a message, a clue, a signal from your body that it needs support.
-
How trauma and mental health affect your physical health
-
The importance of dismantling baseless shame and guilt.
-
The power of becoming your own medical advocate
-
How to give your body the love and support it needs to heal

It can be incredibly hard to tell your story when you live with chronic pain. When individuals like Amie share their journey, it can offer comfort and connection for others who may feel alone in their struggle. Every story shared is a reminder that pain is real, complex, and deeply personal — and that no one has to face it in silence. By telling our stories, we also help to challenge stigma, break down social isolation, and build greater understanding in the wider community. Amie is to be commended for her courage and generosity in sharing her experience so openly.”

"This is the book i have always wanted and most importantly, always needed. This book is what so many chronic pain sufferers need to read and understand. That when integrated into treatment, a holistic approach to pain management addresses the psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects of pain. It reminded me that pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. It highlights pain as a teacher and an opportunity for growth, compassion and acceptance".
