How the Brain Creates Pain and how that differs from tissue damage pain

Patricia Worby, PhD

Talking about pain from a mindbody perspective and how to heal.

00:00 Intro and why I'm talking about pain today
01:30 how to treat acute pain relating to tissue damage and shock (held in the body)
05:20 acute vs. chronic pain - pain that doesn't resolve itself after 3 months - neuropathic or 'brain pain' is especially difficult to resolve as the system gets 'stuck' in threat evaluation in limbic brain
08:20 with repeated trauma the system never re-sets and amygdala is sensitised. All change/uncertainty is seen this way as well as interoceptive signals resulting from fear.
10:15 Painkillers don't work here - need another solution. Brain re-training is needed in central brain to dampen emotional pain triggers
12:24 Changing the brain's processing - most effective treatment for pain and fatigue relies on the mindbody link not constant testing or fear signals of no solution
14:13 Different programs available to desensitise/de-amplify these signals by re-balancing left and right hemispheres too turns off fight and flight system.
