Those of us who live with chronic pain understand that there is more than just the physical pain we experience on a daily basis. Our emotions and psychological response to pain all play a part in how that pain manifests. This program discusses the pain-brain connection and ways in which we can disrupt the hyperactivity of the pain we live with. A multi-layered approach to changing our pain journey can help us gain better pain relief.
The modalities touched on in the program include biofeedback, neurofeedback, EDMR, mindfulness meditation, acupuncture, and nutrition.
In this program, I discuss how mindfulness meditation has become an integral part of my migraine toolkit to help manage daily pain as well as foster a healthier way to deal with depression and anxiety.
Watch Pain Secrets: The Science of Everyday Pain* and let me know if you have included any of these techniques in your pain toolkit!
