"Pain serves a really important purpose, but when pain becomes chronic, it starts to outlive its value," Dr. Afton Hassett


 

In the latest PTSD and Beyond episode, I welcome Dr. Afton Hassett from the University of Michigan where we talk about the link between chronic pain and trauma. We explore the neuroscience of pain, offering new insights on brain processing and effective management strategies.
Dr. Hassett explains that pain is a multifaceted experience involving both body and brain. Acute pain serves a protective role, but chronic pain becomes a source of suffering due to changes in brain processing, amplifying pain signals without injury.
Our conversation highlights the overlap between physical and emotional pain, explaining why those with PTSD often experience heightened physical pain. Therapeutic approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy are discussed as effective methods for managing chronic pain.
Dr. Hassett shares inspiring stories of individuals who have found relief and resilience through these methods. She offers a message of hope, encouraging listeners to try different strategies and build supportive relationships. The episode emphasizes a holistic approach to pain management, addressing both physical and emotional aspects.
For more insights and practical strategies, listen to this enlightening episode of PTSD and discover hope, resilience, and the importance of supportive relationships.

In this episode of the PTSD and Beyond Podcast, I welcome clinical psychologist Dr. Carlos Garcia. Dr. Garcia shares his transformative journey from serving as a Marine and working as a firefighter to becoming a psychotherapist specializing in trauma and mental health. He delves into his personal battles with depression and anxiety, highlighting the cultural stigmas he faced, especially within the Hispanic community, which often discourages open discussions about mental health. Through mindfulness, meditation, and embracing Buddhist principles, Dr. Garcia discovered effective ways to manage his emotions and improve his mental well-being. His insights emphasize the importance of self-compassion, community education, and the need for safe spaces where individuals can express their vulnerabilities without judgment.




Our conversation also focuses on providing hope and encouragement to listeners, especially those struggling with their mental health. Dr. Garcia underscores the value of starting small, such as engaging in physical activities or reading about mental health, and the significance of accepting all emotions as part of the human experience. He shares success stories from his practice, illustrating the positive changes that can occur when individuals seek help and embrace a holistic approach to healing. We explore the power of community and spiritual practices in promoting mental well-being, ultimately reminding listeners that they are not alone in their struggles and that support and growth are always within reach.
