640: Understanding Chronic Pain with Dr. David Clarke

640: Understanding Chronic Pain with Dr. David Clarke

Chronic pain affects hundreds of millions worldwide, with conditions like gastrointestinal issues, back pain, and migraine topping the list. In many cases, psychological factors play a significant role in causing or worsening pain. Despite overwhelming evidence, the mind-body connection is often ignored or dismissed as "all in your head," as though that makes it less serious. My guest this week has dedicated his work to educating both medical professionals and patients on the power of the mind to relieve and even reverse chronic pain.

Listen and learn:

  • How adverse childhood experiences can contribute to or even cause chronic pain
  • Why most medical professionals are not trained in psychological triggers for chronic pain
  • How awareness, vocalization, and writing can potentially help
  • The future of pain treatment
