And this is why it's so important when people who talk about chronic pain are those who had actual experience!! Her talk was great!

A well presented, informative and very personal journey that I think has the potential to help a lot of people. Well done Lauren!!!

Relatable. I've had similar experiences with the mind playing tricks on me. It's liberating once you understand it.

I so appreciate how incredibly clear you have explored the nature of chronic pain. Thank you!!!

Thank you Lauren, for sharing your invaluable perspective. I'm a homeopath and will gladly integrate your perspective in the care I offer patients who experience persistent pain.

I am currently in a lot of pain with a slipped disc and its hard for me to understand that telling myself I am safe is going to stop the pain?

Great video!! Thank you 🙏🏻 Unconditional love to all ❤️ ♾️ 🌌. When I was in intense pain, I would wake up daily Thanking God/Universe/Life for healing me and taking my pain away. Being grateful in advance is very powerful! Keep an attitude of gratitude regardless of your current situation!

Great talk about your experience. Thank you for sharing it. A few resources helpful to me, trying to reduce chronic pain, have been Dr. John Sarno's methods back in the 1990's and Australian Dr. Lorimar Mosley. The workbook "Protectometer" has been very helpful to work thru it. Best wishes to your continued improvement. Its sure a journey rather than a destination.

Failed Back Surgery sufferer here, belly button down for years now. The brain damage done to me by the pain was awful. Glutamate in the brain lowers from the constant pain and Auvelity raises those levels helping recharge me for the pain fight. Cymbalta and Gabapentin both had horrific side effects so bad I couldn’t take them. No real side effects so far with auvelity. I hope this helps someone drowning in nerve pain.

Well done Lauren - it's an important talk and mirrors what I have seen working with persistent pain clients as a Physiotherapist.

Exact description of dealing with pain

Alan Gordon work talks about the some thing!

I have pain since back surgery. I tried but didn’t understand everything .

Pills for pain only cause more harm for me .

This is a great talk but most people who have commented have joint pain. I have pelvic pain. Does anyone else experience this type of pain and how do they deal with it. ?

Physical activities come on.

What about the patient who uses his MRI to prove the validity of his pain?

My dad is 85. He used to be 6 ft tall. He is now 6" shorter. His latest MRI clearly shows age related disc degeneration through out his body , hence the loss of height. He has lost most of his muscle mass too. The MRI basically shows a completely warn out body in every area to include bone on bone where his cartilage has worn away. HE HAS NO PAIN !

@@cdracos1 Your dad is exceptional! 👏

Pain pills and ritalin. Learn to live with it, people hate you, you’re a burden, you feel ashamed of your body. The obsession and circling in the mind about the pain and or cause of pain and or loss of quality of life can be mitigated with stimulant medication, I prefer ritalin and opioids. Morphine and oxy, just that there is a shortage of medications.. though there is high demand, no supply, and you realize how imperfect the world is and you hate that you hurt yourself trying to be perfection.

Anglo pain isn't real. Their qualities of life are so high that mild discomforts to them are mischaracterized as pain
