Summary
Living with physical and emotional pain can be a burden. Even when we take significant measures to calm the pain, all too often we find ourselves drifting in a cycle of frustration as the gains are too few and the setbacks too often. So what's the deal? How do we push through the roadblocks preventing healing and make real progress? The answer lies in an obvious yet commonly overlooked place - the brain. In this episode, the Amens discuss how to address the root causes of pain and find real relief and significant change.
