Pain Reconceptualized: w/ Alex Jinich

Feb 21, 2023

We can reconceptualise pain.

Taking us through a fascinating walkthrough of the mechanics of pain is Alex Jinich, PhD student at UC San Diego.

Alex’s mission is to contribute to our understanding of how meditation and other novel therapeutic techniques help reduce pain and improve wellbeing.

Sharing research results, theories and lessons in foundational cognition, we dive into meditation’s links to spheres of suffering, neuroplasticity, chronic pain, placebo and more.

‘Pain is incredibly more complicated than it first appears.’
