It's not about who's tougher- one person isn't tougher than the other- but it's about the sum of our experiences that have kind of primed the brain and its relationship to pain.
Imagine living with chronic pain every single day. In this episode of the 'Trauma Informed Podcast', host Jeff Friedman sits down with Matthew Purinton, a therapist who specializes in helping people manage chronic pain. Matthew shares his unique approach to pain management, focusing on changing how the brain perceives pain rather than relying solely on medication. He dives into alternative techniques like mindfulness, hypnosis, and guided imagery, all aimed at rewiring the brain's response to pain.
Matthew also highlights the mind-body connection and the importance of stress and life management skills in coping with chronic pain. One of the most fascinating parts of the conversation is Matthew's theatrical performance, 'Exposure', which raises awareness about living with disabilities. He also touches on the incredible benefits of service dogs for those with chronic pain, from aiding mobility to providing emotional support.
This episode is packed with practical advice and inspiring stories, making it a must-listen for anyone dealing with chronic pain or supporting someone who is.
