Join Katie and Mary in a fascinating discussion with Linda Sheehan, Licensed
Clinical Social Worker with a specialty in health challenges and Certified Instructor in Empowered Relief Pain Management Course, Stanford University. Linda shares her research into the brain’s response to chronic pain and disease in the human body. Our reactions to lingering discomfort, damage, injury, etc. create neural pathways in our brains that can become default paths if frequently used. Current information is now saying that it is possible to rewire these pathways, thereby alleviating pain without the need for over-medicating or surgical intervention. Listen to Linda share how this can be done and be prepared to change your view about the brain/body connection.
“We’ve got it backwards: It’s not that the body is there to support the brain; the brain largely exists to cater to our bodily needs, no matter how dimly we perceive them.” - Scott Anderson, ‘Psychology From the Neck Down’, Psychology Today, Jan/Feb 2022
