EPISODE N°0025: RE-TRAINING YOUR BRAIN

In this episode:

We dig into science and psychology a bit with John Gasienica, a therapist with the Pain Psychology Center who joins the show for an eye-opening conversation about retraining your brain, how the majority of the chronic pain we experience is derived from neuroplastic pain (explained in this episode) and the role anxiety plays. Scott shares more of his own personal experience with anxiety manifesting as physical pain and we hope the insights you draw from this episode can help you or those in your community and network be better equipped to recognize and re-train your brain if or when you encounter similar experiences.
