It's the Pain Talking
In this podcast, I am going to sit down with health professionals, psychologists, yoga teachers and yoga therapists to learn more about their research and their approach in their work on pain as well as other chronic health/mental health conditions. I am interested in learning about pain, how pain becomes chronic, and how yoga and psychology can help in managing chronic health and mental health conditions.
It's the Pain Talking
Episode 1 - Understanding pain from a psychological perspective - Conversation with Dr. Richard Harrison
In this episode, we talk about Dr. Harrison's background and research interests, the difference between injury and pain, and the role of mindfulness in pain management.
Dr. Harrison is a psychologist and the Co-Head of CINN Pain Lab at the university of Reading. His reserach focuses predominately on pain, examining psychological processes underlying how pain is processed, as well as individual differences in the ability to modulate (or control) the experience of pain.
