Key Points
·      Pain is not solely felt in the body, but is an output of the brain.
·      Pain is a communication tool used by the brain to alter behavior and promote safety.
·      Outputs can be both safety outputs (like pain) and empowering outputs.
·      The biopsychosocial model of pain considers the biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to pain. The brain is a highly suggestive organ that can influence pain perception.
·      Empowering language and positive suggestions can have a significant impact on pain management.
·      The placebo effect is a real and powerful phenomenon that should be explored and utilized.
·      Movement is medicine and can help in pain management. It is important to keep moving and try different forms of movement.
·      Subtle interventions can have profound effects on the body and brain.
·      Finding joy in activities outside of studying or work is important for overall well-being.
