Understanding the Biological Instinct of Pain Equals Harm
Individuals often believe that pain equates to harm due to a biological instinct, especially in cases of acute injuries where the association between pain and bodily damage is clear. Despite the importance of seeking medical attention for acute conditions, this instinct can lead to misconceptions in cases of chronic pain. Conditions like neuroplastic pain can persist even after the body has healed, challenging the belief system that equates pain solely with physical harm.
