We would be in a lot of trouble without pain.
Say that again?
Yes, even though this might seem impossible, it’s true. In its acute form, pain can keep us from harm, teach us what (not) to do, and slow us down when we need to heal.
But on the other hand, chronic pain is a completely different thing, and it’s really linked more to our brain than it is to any actual damage in the physical body.
Dr. David Hanscom arrived at these conclusions in a really interesting way – as a spine surgeon, who realized that the procedures he was performing actually have an incredibly low success rate, and at the same time, that his approach to work was actually causing considerable adverse reactions in his own body. His approach now is very different from what he used to be doing – and also a lot more effective.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- How your brain chemistry contributes to feelings of chronic pain.
- Why anxiety is primarily not a psychological issue and how you can resolve it.
- A simple three-step solution to help you become free from chronic pain.
- What is active meditation and how it will help you resolve persistent pain.
