About this listen

Can pain actually be a sign of progress? Dr. Roger Smith blends biology with psychology to explain the concept of inflammation as a necessary part of the healing process. Just as a physical wound becomes red and sensitive as the body sends resources to repair it, emotional wounds often feel "angrier" or more sensitive before they truly heal. This episode explores why sensitivity to comments or memories isn't a sign of failure, but a productive part of emotional recovery. Learn how to navigate the "tender spots" in your life and your children’s lives, understanding that while healing may leave a scar, it eventually leads to a place where you can smile at the future.
