11 What a Pain w/ Jill Fancher PhD
On this week’s episode, Cara talks to Jill Fancher PhD, a pain psychologist who lives with chronic pain herself. They talk about how she came to study pain, the devastation of being stuck in diagnostic limbo, stigma, existing in the liminal space between patient and provider, and the feedback loop between chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. Content Warning: we do briefly discuss suicide toward the end of the interview. If you are in crisis, or know someone who is, there are a list of crisis hotlines on the resources page linked to below. See insicknesspod.com for more info.
