Ep 62: Rant With Me - A mini episode w/ Destiny
In this episode, Destiny Winters LPC CRC discusses the often overlooked aspect of social needs in chronic pain management. She emphasizes how current pain research tends to focus on individual cognitive and emotional strategies, neglecting the vital role of community and social connections.
She also highlights the importance of mindfulness and psychological interventions, but stresses that these should be complemented by strong social support systems.

Ep 61: Is your pain a Helicopter Parent? Learning to Trust Your Body w/ Amy Toth DPT
Amy Toth is a physical therapist turned chronic pain specialist with over 20 years of experience. She helps individuals recover from chronic pain by regulating and reprogramming their nervous system. In this conversation, Amy discusses the challenges of treating chronic pain, the role of the nervous system in pain perception, and the importance of building trust in your body's signals. She emphasizes the need to understand that pain does not always indicate tissue damage and that the brain can become overprotective. Amy also highlights the importance of mindfulness and self-awareness in managing chronic pain. The conversation explores the concept of persistent pain and its treatment. Amy and Destiny discuss the importance of listening to one's body and the growing interest in interoception. They also get into the use of imagery and visualization in pain reprocessing and retraining the brain. This conversation emphasizes the need for compassion, understanding, and personalized approaches in treating persistent pain.
