Summary

It is estimated that over 20% of a country's population is suffering from chronic pain, and often the root cause of the pain is unknown. However, for those suffering from emotional trauma, such as being in an abusive relationship with a narcissist, chronic pain can be a symptom of that emotional trauma.

What you will learn in this episode:

Why your chronic physical pain could be caused by emotional trauma
How your body reacts to traumatic situations and what issues that can cause
The methods to solving chronic pain by analysing your inner emotional wounds

In this episode, I’m going to discuss how our body deals with narcissistic abuse and why your emotional pain can often manifest itself as physical pain. The knowledge of how your brain, nervous system and body react to emotional trauma can be the key to being able to solve chronic pain, so I hope this episode can help you understand why you may be feeling the way you do.

0:38.4	other's worlds for the most horrendous of reasons, having both of us experiencing narcissistic
0:44.0	abuse. And, you know, I just want you to know that there is a light at the end of that tunnel,
0:48.9	albeit it might seem really long and dark right now. And this is why I do these podcasts so that
