Mindfulness and CBT: Tools for Tackling Chronic Pain and Mental Health

When we bring ourselves closer to the here and now, we become acutely aware, without allowing intrusive, counterproductive thinking to get in the way.
Feeling overwhelmed by chronic pain or mental health struggles? In this episode of 'Healthscape', Dr. Trevor Campbell dives into the transformative power of meditation and mindfulness. Drawing from his own experiences and expert insights, Dr. Campbell breaks down various meditation techniques and their benefits, especially for those grappling with chronic conditions like persistent pain and mental illnesses. He also touches on trauma-informed meditation, highlighting its significance in the healing process. But that's not all. Dr.
Campbell takes a closer look at Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and its practical approach to managing stress and self-sabotage. Unlike traditional talk therapies that often dwell on the past, CBT focuses on the here and now, offering actionable strategies to improve your mood and behavior. Curious about the gut-brain connection? Dr. Campbell explains how your gut biome can influence mental health, shedding light on an often-overlooked aspect of wellbeing.
And for a touch of lightness, he discusses the surprising role of humor and laughter in maintaining a positive outlook during tough times. Whether you're new to mindfulness or looking to deepen your practice, this episode is packed with practical advice and thoughtful reflections to help you take charge of your health journey.
