In this episode, Dr. David Hanscom continues his discussion with Dr. Howard Schubiner, internist and a Clinical Professor at the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. He discusses two approaches to treating chronic pain: pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) and emotional awareness and expression therapy (EAET). He explains that PRT helps patients shift their
relationship to pain by recognizing it as brain-generated rather than
physically harmful, while EAT addresses deep-seated emotions from childhood or past adverse events. He emphasizes the importance of processing emotions, particularly anger, in a safe way to facilitate healing.
