Dr. Daniel Amen reveals that most chronic pain isn't just in your back, knee, or neck - it's in your brain. He explains the doom loop, a vicious cycle where pain triggers suffering, which activates automatic negative thoughts, creating physical tension that leads to harmful coping habits and more pain. Through scanning over 300,000 brains from 155 countries, he's proven that healing your brain can eliminate pain that's haunted you for years, even when MRIs show structural damage. You'll learn why believing every negative thought is literally damaging your body, and discover how practices like gratitude, managing your mind, and connecting to faith can set you free. This episode gives you the complete roadmap to heal both your brain and your body by understanding they've always been connected.
