Yoni Ashar: Understanding and Treating Neuroplastic Pain

The primary thing that drives the neuroplastic pain engine is fear.
Feeling trapped by chronic pain that seems to have no clear cause? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Yoni Ashar, a clinical psychologist and neuroscientist, about the fascinating world of neuroplastic pain. Yoni's work at Weil-Cornell Medicine focuses on how our beliefs and emotions shape our health, especially when it comes to pain.
He dives into the concept of neuroplastic pain, explaining how our brains can misinterpret signals and create persistent pain even without a physical injury. It's a deep dive into how fear can drive this pain network and how changing our mental pathways can offer relief. Yoni also shares practical insights into pain reprocessing therapy and somatic tracking, offering hope to those who feel stuck in a cycle of discomfort.
If you've ever wondered why some pains linger while others fade, or how you might be able to train your brain to manage pain better, this episode is a must-listen.
