Rethinking Pain: Dr. Jud Brewer's Insights on Bias and Compassion in Healthcare

Pain is influenced by mood and emotional states...Suffering equals pain times resistance.
Ever wondered how your mood or even a sleepless night might affect how you perceive pain? Dr. Jud Brewer dives into this fascinating topic in his latest episode, tackling the intricate world of pain perception. Pain isn't just a physical sensation; it's deeply intertwined with our emotions and mental state. Dr. Brewer explains how biases, such as those based on gender or ethnicity, can sneak into the diagnosis and treatment of pain, making it a complex issue for healthcare providers.
But don’t worry, he’s got some practical advice too. By recognizing these biases and our own habitual reactions to pain, we can start to shift our approach. Imagine turning towards your own pain with curiosity and kindness instead of running away from it. Sounds intriguing, right? This episode is packed with guided meditations and actionable insights that could change how you understand and manage pain, both in yourself and others.
Whether you're a healthcare professional or someone curious about the mind-body connection, this episode offers a compassionate perspective on an often misunderstood topic.
