S4 E16 - The Brain Science Behind Why We “Flare”

When we hear about "flares" in the chronic pain community, they are decidedly viewed as bad. They are feared, judged, dreaded. But what if we redefined flare in the same way we are redefining what it means to be "sick" or "broken" or "hopeless?" What if we challenged the definition of everything that is no longer serving us to make room for a greater perspective? That's what we are doing together today. Join me for a interrogation of the word flare, an explanation of the brain science it inhabits, and the possibility of waking up to new opportunities for healing and growth. As long as we stay curious, there will always be ways to expand our view of a situation, and in turn, the power to transform it. XOXO! n.
