Imagine living with chronic pain that never seems to go away. For nearly 50 million Americans, this is a daily reality. In this episode of 'American Medicine Today', Afton L. Hassett, the author of 'Chronic Pain Reset', offers a beacon of hope. Chronic pain isn't just about the physical discomfort; it's also about how our brain processes and amplifies this pain.

Through a mix of stress-reducing activities, positive emotions, and self-compassion, Hassett provides practical tools to help you manage and even reduce your pain. She shares a 30-day plan filled with activities and skills designed to reset your brain's response to pain.
