Today\u2019s guest is here to share a groundbreaking approach to treating pain, revealing that the brain creates pain as a signal of an underlying emotional issue that needs to be addressed, and treatment can be achieved by rewiring our brains.\xa0\n\nToday, on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Howard Schubiner to discuss why chronic pain is more prevalent and how it is connected to our brains. Dr. Schubiner explains why the current approach to pain management is flawed and why Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy has been clinically proven to be more effective in treating chronic pain compared to traditional forms of treatment. He also explores how adverse childhood experiences can trigger chronic pain later in life and how we can rewire our brains, ultimately changing our response to pain.\n\nDr. Howard Schubiner is an internist, pediatrician, and the Mind-Body Medicine Center director at Ascension Providence Hospital in Southfield, Michigan. He is a clinical professor at the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine and has authored more than 100 publications in scientific journals and books, including three books, Unlearn Your Pain.\xa0\n\nIn this episode, Dhru and Dr. Schubiner dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version):\n\nWhy back pain has doubled in the last twenty years (2:24 / 2:24)\n\nWhat is pain in the body (5:36 / 5:36)\xa0\n\nThe current approach to pain and pain management is broken (11:13 / 8:55)\xa0\n\nThe Symptom Perception Model and its effectiveness (18:30 / 16:09)\n\nIncentives that lead to failure in the system (20:03 / 17:45)\n\nWhy MRIs don\u2019t provide a complete picture of the pain (25:00 / 23:07)\n\nAdverse childhood experiences and the relationship to pain (31:50 / 28:00)\n\nAwareness of how the brain generates pain (37:15 / 33:09)\n\nTools for assessing and combating pain (44:51 / 40:54)\xa0\n\nPain reprocessing therapy: Changing your response to the pain (51:38 / 47:46)\xa0\n\nWhat is Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (59:50 / 56:00)\xa0\n\nNext steps on addressing chronic pain (1:21:00 / 1:17:13)\xa0\xa0\n\n\nAlso mentioned in this episode:\n\nUnlearn Your Pain website\n\nReign of Pain\xa0\n\nPPD/TMS Peer Network\n\nCurable App\n\nCure of Chronic Pain\n\n\nLet your feet do their natural thing, and upgrade your shoes.
