Episode description

Can mindset play a role in pain? DocJen & Dr. Dom dive into the psychology and neuroscience of pain, discussing how mindset may perpetuate or distract away from one’s pain experience. They dive into the role of mindset tools, why we get pain, the causes of pain, models and research that explain the link between self-beliefs, thoughts, stress, and pain, as well as effective psychological strategies to help navigate chronic pain on a daily basis. Let’s dive in!
