Body As A Trickster
- Bodies can be 'tricksters' that convincingly signal danger even when injury has healed.
- Treat bodily alarms as information, not absolute truth, because context shapes perception of pain.
Neuroplastic Pain Lowers The Danger Threshold
- Neuroplastic pain lowers the brain's danger threshold after trauma and amplifies sensations as pain.
- This is a literal nervous-system change, not mere metaphor or 'just in your head'.
Raise Safety To Reduce Pain Sensitivity
- Recognize that stress context lowers pain thresholds and raises sensitivity to sensations.
- Use relaxation and safety-building to raise the threshold and reduce false pain signaling.
