Episode description

In this episode, Clinical Psychologist Dr Damon Ashworth interviews Clinical Neuropsychologist Dr Harvey Jones on helping people to improve chronic pain.

Chronic pain impacts up to 20% of the population, so there is a good chance that you or someone you know is significantly impacted by this.

Together, they discuss:

* what is chronic pain?

* what are the main differences between acute and chronic pain

* why chronic pain does not always mean that harm or damage is being done to the tissue where the pain is coming from?

* why pain is a perception rather than a sensation

* how to increase or decrease our pain response

* why getting a scan or paying too much attention to scan results may not be the best option for chronic pain

* if pain medication can be helpful

and much more.
