After treating hundreds of patients who suffer from chronic severe pain, we have noticed that many of them suffer from PTSD, childhood sexual trauma, and past emotional trauma that left scars on their psyches. While choosing to try and forget past trauma may seem like the easiest and least painful path, burying past trauma can cause physical pain. The body always tells. Healing past (and possibly suppressed) trauma is one of the hardest things you will ever do... In this podcast, we discuss why it is worth it.

Almost every chronic pain patient will, at some point, have suicidal thoughts. This is the shadow of pain that we often don’t talk about. Patients may find this shameful, and therefore hide it.

It is very important that the patient’s loved ones understand this side of chronic pain. Recognition decreases isolation. Hold on, pain ends.
