Podcast Notes:

In this podcast, Body and Mind Life Coach Betsy Jensen talks about the traditional view of pain (signals from your body to your brain), and compares that with what neuroscience teaches us about pain. Our brains adapt and change when pain is chronic, and much of the pain that is really felt in the body is originating from the brain. This does not mean it is all in your head, it just means your brain is causing some of the effects in your body interpreted as pain. Pain can be a physical sensation, but can also behave just like an emotion.
