TKL69: Dr. Trevor Campbell "The Pain Narrative"

Today we have Dr. Trevor Campbell on the show talking about pain! We've had a ton of great content specifically about pain and Dr. Campbell brings yet ANOTHER perspective on pain. This perspective deals with the pain narrative specifically and how it applies to improving pain symptoms. Dr. Campbell has a few tips if you are in pain! Check those out below!

1. Learn about chronic pain the disorder/disease, rather than just seeing it as an unpleasant, ongoing symptom.

2. Activate both physically and socially (more exercise and more time with family and friends).

3. Don't let your pain narrative only be filled with negative things. This is what eventually becomes your constant internal dialogue and can torpedo your efforts.

4. Learn to reduce your stress level through exercise in nature, mediation, music or whatever helps you relax.

5. Get a few sessions of CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) to show you how unhelpful thinking can negatively impact behavior and mood while more helpful thinking improves your situation.
