Pain is a complex and often misunderstood experience because it doesn't always correlate directly with tissue damage. Instead, pain is influenced by the nervous system, emotions and psychological factors, which can cause people to experience significant discomfort, even when there's little to no physical injury present.
Graded exposure therapy offers one solution by gradually reintroducing the person in pain to the activities they fear & helping to retrain the nervous system and reduce pain perception.
By understanding the non-correlation between pain and tissue damage and utilizing graded exposure therapy. People in pain can effectively manage their pain, reduce their fear, and regain their quality of life.
In this episode, I'll explain why pain is complex and multi-dimensional, and I'll explain how graded exposure therapy can be used to help alleviate the sensation of pain in the body.
