About this listen
In this episode, Dr. Mark welcomes Professor Dean Tripp of Queen’s University, a clinical psychologist and leading researcher on chronic pain, stress, and resilience. Together, they unpack the concept of catastrophizing—what it is, how it develops, and why it matters for both patients and caregivers.
You’ll learn:
• The key differences between acute and chronic pain.
• How empathy can both help and harm caregivers.
• Why communication and connection are essential tools for preventing burnout.
• How intimacy, fairness, and “small wins” can restore balance in caregiving relationships.
• Practical strategies to maintain your own well-being while supporting others.
