I find it interesting that this Dr thinks we can control the response to endometriosis pain?! As a stage 4 patient, with a 10 hour surgery, bowel resection and ileostomy all due to endometriosis I can assure you, you can not control the response to the pain! Trust me no amount of mindfulness would help when your body is being destroyed! Yet again a doctor making out this illness is controllable in our heads. I actually find this video extremely offensive.
