Pain can be distressing, how do we not make it worse?  

Sometimes we think pain is just physical.  However,  pain is not just physical—it shapes how we think, act, and believe.  In this Pause to Elevate Episode, discover how mindfulness can transform the way we experience and manage pain.  

My guest is Dr. Carol Greco, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, researcher on pain and mindfulness, faculty member at the University of Pittsburgh, and mindfulness teacher/trainer. 

Learn how you can meet pain with presence, care, and compassion, instead of judgment or resistance.   Whether you're dealing with physical or emotional pain, this episode offers some helpful perspectives and mindset to navigate pain with greater ease and self-awareness.
