Amy’s Friday Favorites 💜
Up next in my Friday Favorites series is the podcast episode Chronic Pain: Can Our Brains Fix It? by the Science Vs. podcast.
Chronic Pain: Can Our Brains Fix It?
Mind/Body Approaches For Chronic Pain
Science Vs. was on my Favorites list a few weeks ago for their episode on fiber, and they’re back today for their episode on chronic pain. This episode is a favorite for me because it was my first exposure to the world of mind/body approaches to help chronic pain and other chronic symptoms.
This episode came out back in October of 2021. Earlier that same month my chronic headaches returned after having given me a few months off. I had made my first appointment with a neurologist but had to wait 6 weeks to be seen. I was thrilled to listen to this podcast episode when it came out. I wanted more options other than just waiting, in daily pain, to be seen by the neurologist. And this podcast did just that, it opened up the world of mind/body approaches for chronic pain and this world has changed my life in the best ways.
If you’re dealing with chronic pain or other chronic symptoms I’d encourage you to give it a listen.
Next week I’ll share a little more about my chronic pain story and another resource that has been helpful for me.
