#84 Unlearning Your Pain | Howard Schubiner, MD SuperPsyched with Dr. Adam Dorsay
-
- Self-Improvement
Chronic pain can seriously alter the quality of a person’s life. And, sadly, chronic pain is prevalent in the United States with more people suffering from it than the total diagnoses of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease combined.
When the source of pain can be diagnosed and treated it is a relief. Yet, far too many people have pain without a diagnosable, treatable, physical root cause of their pain. Their experiences can be lonely, which can cause or exacerbate symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Why are so many people suffering and what can be done? And how might psychologists be able to help?
On this episode, you will hear answers to these questions from physician Dr. Howard Schubiner, Clinical Director and co-founder of the Freedom From Chronic Pain program (https://www.freedomfromchronicpain.com/). Freedom From Chronic Pain is a structured, online pain management program that has been effective for people suffering from various types of pain, including: back pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, and many others. Howard is also the author of several books for both laypeople and professionals, including a very popular self-help book called Unlearn Your Pain. He has also authored over 60 publications in scientific journals and has been consistently named one of the best physicians in the United States.
So, please join Howard and me as we discuss how to unlearn our pain.
