S2E10 - Unlearn Your Pain, with Dr. Howard Schubiner

Pain is no stranger to chronic illness sufferers, in fact, sometimes it feels like we don’t remember what it feels like to be without pain.  Many of us have been told that the pain is only in our heads, which only serves to unfairly invalidate what we are going through.  But what exactly is pain? Is it caused by strange endometriosis implants in our bodies? Is it caused by inflammation? Is it caused by structural abnormalities within our organs, muscles, or bones? How are pain signals transmitted from the brain? These are all very important questions and today’s episode is with Dr. Howard Schubiner, a clinician, author, and researcher who has conducted ground-breaking research on a treatment plan that can resolve, rather than manage, chronic pain.  He is the director of the Mind-Body Medicine Center at Providence Hospital in Southfield, Michigan, and a Clinical Professor at Wayne State University and Michigan State University School of Medicine. He has authored over 60 scientific publications and lectures nationally and internationally.   Dr. Howard is the author of the book Unlearn Your Pain and co-author of the book Hidden from View - A clinician's guide to psychophysiological disorders.  If you enjoyed this episode, I would love to know.
