About this listen

In this episode, Dr. Katherine Bailey and Dr. Kaye Morgan explore the role of thought processes in pain management. People with chronic pain can have their thoughts hijacked by pain, and once pain takes your focus it is hard to think about anything other than the pain. We discuss how thoughts create emotions and physical sensations in the body, including how our fear of or anticipation of pain increases pain in the body. The good news is that if we can worry ourselves sick, we can imagine ourselves well. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other mind-body approaches are explored as solid evidence-based tools for chronic pain and suffering.
