The Importance of Fear in Pain
"I find that often the stories that pain sufferers tell about what's going on inside their bodies are terrifying," she says. "It's really hard not to have a lot of fear around your pain if you think that it's indicative of these terrible things that are happening in your body" She adds: Your brain is on high alert because of the fear. It keeps misinterpreting the signals and it just keeps the pain going."
