Melanie McGhee, LCSW, founder of Acceptance and Integration Training ® (AAIT™), helps people move from managing pain to integrating it. She has built a clinical model, and a community of practitioners, around one idea: real change happens when people stop managing their pain and start integrating it.

Her forthcoming book, The Unconditioned Self: A New Path to Freedom from the Past, co-authored with David A. Patterson, brings this work to a wider audience for the first time.
