Trevor's Triumph: Overcoming Chronic Pain with Knowledge and Hope

If we want things to be different, then let's have the courage to try something different and give it a go.
Imagine living with chronic back pain for over 20 years. That was Trevor Barker's reality until he discovered a path to recovery that changed his life. In this episode of 'Stories of Recovery', Trevor, a former electrician turned support coordinator, shares his incredible journey from debilitating pain to newfound freedom. After a minor workplace injury spiraled into two decades of persistent pain, Trevor's breakthrough came through education and understanding the true nature of pain.
He now collaborates with some of the world's leading pain scientists and educators to spread his message of hope and practical advice. Trevor emphasizes that pain isn't always an accurate measure of tissue damage and highlights the importance of reducing psychological distress. He challenges traditional biomedical approaches and advocates for a holistic view of pain management. Through engaging anecdotes and heartfelt reflections, Trevor offers listeners actionable strategies and a fresh perspective on managing chronic pain.
Whether you're struggling with persistent pain or supporting someone who is, Trevor's story is a beacon of hope and a reminder that recovery is possible.
