In this podcast, we discuss the sources of chronic pain in families with addiction.

We learn that:

1. Chronic pain is more likely to occur in families with an addiction problem in the home.
2. That is because of the extra burden of stressors imposed by dysfunctions and (according to Dr John Sarno) by suppressed rage.
3. Science has shown that chronic pain is as much a brain disorder as it is a physical problem.
4. Learning new neural pathways is a science-based way of looking at what recovery tries to do \u2013 unlearning unhealthy ways of thinking and replacing them with new attitudes and healthy ways of thinking and being.
5. There are countless resources to get help when the individual decides that enough suffering is enough and that there has to be a better way.\xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0
