Understanding Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is often misunderstood as being purely physical, but it can also stem from psychological factors. The speaker highlights a personal journey of battling chronic back pain for 13 years before discovering that pain can be influenced by the brain’s perception of danger, rather than by direct physical ailments. This perspective contrasts the common belief that chronic pain arises solely from a flaw in the body. Instead, the brain can mistakenly interpret normal bodily sensations as threats, keeping pain activated without a legitimate medical cause.
