85. How persistent pain is related to the brain with psychotherapist Christie Uipi

In this episode, I sit down with Christie Uipi, a psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of chronic pain, anxiety and depression and the founder of The Better Mind Center to discuss: 

• Pain is invisible and so are pelvic floor issues
• How pain works 
• Why each person experiences pain uniquely 
• Why sometimes pain goes away quickly and reasons why it persists
• Messages to patients who feel they go between many health care practioners
• Emotional and physical aspects of pain 
• How physiotherapists and psychotherapists can work together
• What psychotherapy has to offer and the negative stigmas associated
• Personality traits that are common amongst people with persistent pain 

Christie Uipi (she/her) is a psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of chronic pain, anxiety, and depression and the founder of The Better Mind Center.  Christie has been a key collaborator on the development and research of the Pain Reprocessing Therapy treatment modality.  She lectures nationally on psychotherapeutic interventions to treat chronic pain and is committed to cross-disciplinary collaboration between mental health and physical medicine. Christie is also a recovered chronic pain patient herself. The healing process was so profoundly transformational for the quality of her life that she has dedicated her career to supporting others through their recoveries.
