Mindfulness Helps Manage Chronic Pain

All Episodes

June 23, 2021 • 41 mins

Dr. Greg Serpa discusses the importance of mindfulness as the basis of a Whole Health approach to chronic pain and explains how mindful awareness can impact pain and suffering. We learn that mindful awareness is the foundation to the Circle of Health and discuss the difference between pain and suffering. While the conventional approach to care treats discomfort as an enemy to be extinguished, mindful awareness teaches us that being with the pain and noticing our thoughts and reactions without resisting the discomfort can decrease suffering and even decrease pain over time.

In this podcast Dr. Serpa shares his experience and research with mindfulness and chronic pain.
