Welcome to Part Two! Today, we’re diving deeper into the fascinating topic of the mindbody connection.
In this episode, we explore how the mindbody connection contributes to symptoms and what cutting-edge fMRI technology reveals about how the brain processes acute (short-term) versus chronic (long-term) pain. Discover a third classification of pain, known as nociplastic or neuroplastic pain, which opens new pathways for addressing symptoms that lack a clear biomedical explanation. These include chronic conditions like migraines, fibromyalgia, back pain, IBS, and even long-COVID.
We’ll also examine the roles stress, repressed emotions, and personality traits play in these conditions—and how addressing these factors can help break the pain cycle. Join us to uncover the transformative potential of mindbody healing and take a step toward improving your quality of life.
