We are not taught about managing chronic pain. And we are not taught what pain is.
We think that pain lives exclusively in the body.
If you have back pain, you think that your pain lives exclusively in your back.
You might go to many specialists to target your back and not get better.
Neuroscience concludes that pain is constructed by the brain. So pain is in your brain!
Of course the body contributes to the experience of pain.
Pain is the body’s danger detection system.
If your brain believes your body is in danger, it will make pain to protect you. But like every system in the human body, the pain system can fail.
100% of the time pain is physical and emotional. Why?
The sensory signals from the body filter through a part of your brain called the limbic system. With the limbic system being the brain’s emotional centre.
I will help you understand your pain and the management of chronic pain. And with this knowledge build a roadmap leading to a healthier, more bearable life.
