Reframing Pain: Understanding Chronic Pain's Messages
In this episode of 'Mind Your Body,' Dr. Zev Nevo, a trauma-informed physician certified in physical and regenerative medicine, explores the complex relationship between pain and mind-body health. Dr. Nevo discusses how chronic pain can become a sensitized signal, not just a warning of physical harm but an attention-grabber that indicates unaddressed needs, boundary challenges, or misalignments with core values. By differentiating between pain as a smoke alarm (danger) and an alarm clock (a call to attention), listeners are guided on recognizing and interpreting pain signals to foster self-awareness and wellbeing. Practical advice is offered on how to pause, engage the prefrontal cortex, and build a more trusting relationship with our body's messages.
