Welcome to another episode of Gut Heroes!
In this episode, I look at the fascinating relationship between rumination, catastrophising, and chronic pain. I explore the latest research and share personal insights on how our mental states and relationships could affect our pain management journey, including:
✔️ The role of stress in chronic pain (and how our thought processes and social interactions can influence pain levels)
✔️ The concept of "distress contagion" and a social media tip
✔️ The power of social support in reducing pain intensity and promoting positive pain adaptation
✔️The complex relationship between social validation, self-sufficiency, and pain management
✔️ Key findings from studies on pain catastrophising in rheumatic diseases like AS and rheumatoid arthritis
✔️ The importance of finding a supportive, positive "tribe"
