Episode notes
Dan's Pain Journey
- Dan Buglio suffered from chronic back pain and sciatica for 13 years, starting in his early 30s.
- He found relief through the mind-body approach, inspired by Dr. Sarno's work, and has been pain-free for over a decade.
Brain's Role in Chronic Pain
- Chronic pain can be a mistake by the brain, not solely a physical issue.
- The brain, perceiving danger, can activate and maintain pain even after the body has healed.
Acute to Chronic Pain
- Acute pain becomes chronic when the brain perceives a persistent threat, even after physical healing.
- The body's natural state is healing, so chronic pain often signals a brain-based issue.
