Are You Traumatized from Your Chronic Pain or Illness?

Can the loss of a pet teach us more about chronic pain than we ever imagined? Join us as we open our hearts and share the emotional journey of saying goodbye to our beloved cat, Mcat, and how our children are processing this grief.
This intimate moment sets the stage for a profound discussion on sensitization trauma in chronic pain/symptoms. We unravel the complex emotions and nervous system reactions that accompany chronic pain's onset or progression, revealing how these experiences can lead to a prolonged state of high sympathetic response or low dorsal vagal shutdown response. With personal stories and clinical insights, we stress the importance of acknowledging the trauma associated with chronic pain/symptoms and the importance of processing it.
This podcast is produced by Alex Klassen, who is one of the wonderful therapists at Pain Psychotherapy Canada.
