"Pain serves a really important purpose, but when pain becomes chronic, it starts to outlive its value," Dr. Afton Hassett
In the latest PTSD and Beyond episode, I welcome Dr. Afton Hassett from the University of Michigan where we talk about the link between chronic pain and trauma. We explore the neuroscience of pain, offering new insights on brain processing and effective management strategies.

Dr. Hassett explains that pain is a multifaceted experience involving both body and brain. Acute pain serves a protective role, but chronic pain becomes a source of suffering due to changes in brain processing, amplifying pain signals without injury.

Our conversation highlights the overlap between physical and emotional pain, explaining why those with PTSD often experience heightened physical pain. Therapeutic approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy are discussed as effective methods for managing chronic pain.

Dr. Hassett shares inspiring stories of individuals who have found relief and resilience through these methods. She offers a message of hope, encouraging listeners to try different strategies and build supportive relationships. The episode emphasizes a holistic approach to pain management, addressing both physical and emotional aspects.

For more insights and practical strategies, listen to this enlightening episode of PTSD and discover hope, resilience, and the importance of supportive relationships. Don't miss this inspiring and informative discussion. Remember to share with someone who may find this podcast episode valuable.
