Pain, Emotions, and Inequity: Insights from Dr. Burel Goodin

Because something that I also started to get very, very interested in is sort of that overlap between pain and emotions.
Ever thought about how pain is more than just a physical sensation? Dr. Burel Goodin, a psychology professor at UAB, shares his journey from observing football players' injuries to researching the complex world of pain and recovery. In this episode of APC Recovery Cafe, Dr. Goodin unpacks how health disparities and inequities shape our experiences with pain.
He delves into the often-overlooked emotional aspects of pain, revealing why some people's suffering isn't taken seriously by healthcare providers, friends, and family when it's not visible. Dr. Goodin also highlights the vital work being done at UAB’s Center for Addiction and Pain Prevention and Intervention. This organization, composed of scientists, physicians, and community members, is on a mission to find effective treatments and alleviate the suffering caused by addiction and pain.
This episode offers a fresh perspective on pain management and underscores the importance of addressing health inequities in recovery. It's an enlightening conversation that blends scientific insights with real-world implications, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the deeper layers of pain and recovery.
