In this episode, Jay interviews Dr. David Clarke, a board-certified gastroenterologist who treated over 7,000 patients during a career that spanned 25 years of active practice.

The discussion centers around the topic of psychophysiologic disorders and underscores the potential for emotional or mental traumas to manifest as chronic physical ailments or even functional diseases. As is often the case, early and comprehensive treatment is the key.

Tune in if you want to gain a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection and hear about the latest developments in psychotherapy that are helping thousands of patients finally alleviate their chronic pain and illness after years of failed attempts using conventional approaches.

“It's astounding the power that the brain has on our bodies. The brain can literally cause physiological manifestations of disease states or pain or suffering.” – Dr. David Clarke

What You'll Learn From This Episode

Impact of Childhood Trauma on Health – Childhood trauma can manifest physically, leading to chronic pain and illness in adulthood. It’s important to address adverse childhood experiences early to improve physical and mental health outcomes later on.
Overcoming Stigma and Self-Blame – Patients who have experienced trauma often struggle with self-blame and feelings of worthlessness. Helping them recognize their resilience and inherent value is the first step toward making a full recovery.
Effectiveness of Pain Relief Psychotherapy – Incorporating psychotherapy can significantly alleviate physical symptoms caused by stress and trauma. There is a large body of evidence that supports positive health outcomes generated using this approach.
Integration of Talk Therapy and Psychotherapy – Awareness of stressors is enough for some patients, but talk therapy may be necessary to unlock the full benefits of using psychotherapy to address deeper traumas and self-esteem issues.
The Need For More (And Better) Physician Training – All healthcare professionals should get more training around the mind-body connection to help them recognize and treat psychophysiologic disorders more effectively.
