The Brain Changes Pain
Neuroscience shows that thoughts aren't just in our heads - they also come out in our bodies. When it comes to pain, the things we think affect the way we feel. Everything is connected. You will learn science and strategy for transforming thoughts, including the "3 C's" of CBT: Catch it, Check it, and Change it. You'll learn to identify and question Pain Voice and replace it with a more helpful, healing voice. We'll cover the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, how to use Thought Logs, the power of Detective Questions, and critical information about identifying and responding to suicidality, which is all too common in people with chronic pain. To change pain, we must target the brain.
