Chronic low back pain is more likely a brain disorder than a back disorder.
Why does chronic pain seem to plague families dealing with addiction? In this episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths', the hosts from SafeHouse Rehab Thailand tackle this intriguing question. Chronic pain isn't just a physical issue; it often has deep roots in the brain, influenced by stress and emotional turmoil. Dr. John Sarno's mind-body research is highlighted, showing how suppressed rage and dysfunction within families can manifest as chronic pain.
The episode dives into how stress affects both addicts and their caretakers, often leading to a cycle where caretakers neglect their own well-being to focus on their loved ones' addiction. But there's hope—recovery can help rewire the brain, creating new neural pathways that promote healthier thinking and living. The discussion also covers practical solutions like Narcotics Anonymous (NA), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and addressing codependency issues.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complex relationship between addiction and chronic pain, offering insights and strategies to find relief and foster recovery.
