Key Points


·      Pain is not solely felt in the
body, but is an output of the brain.


·      Pain is a communication tool used
by the brain to alter behavior and promote safety.


·      Outputs can be both safety
outputs (like pain) and empowering outputs.


·      The biopsychosocial model of pain
considers the biological, psychological, and social factors that
contribute to pain. The brain is a highly suggestive organ that
can influence pain perception.


·      Empowering language and positive
suggestions can have a significant impact on pain management.


·      The placebo effect is a real and
powerful phenomenon that should be explored and utilized.


·      Movement is medicine and can help
in pain management. It is important to keep moving and try
different forms of movement.


·      Subtle interventions can have
profound effects on the body and brain.


·      Finding joy in activities outside
of studying or work is important for overall well-being.
