The Shocking Truth About Pain

100% of pain comes from your brain, it has nothing to do with the amount of physical tissue damage you may or may not have. That being said, YOUR PAIN IS REAL, it is not in your head. I want to apologize for any medical professional who ever made you feel crazy or like you were imagining the pain or ever told you to just “have a glass of wine.”

Pain is a direct result of your brain’s opinion of how much danger you are in, the good news is, your brain and nervous system can be retrained.

Pain is generated by the brain as a way to keep you safe and it is completely context dependent.
