Why Do We Feel Pain When We Think About It With Dr. Kate Truitt

Описание: Have you ever noticed feeling pain when you just think about a past injury or emotional experience? It may seem strange, but your brain is wired to respond to these memories as if they are happening right now.

In this video, Dr. Kate Truitt explains how the brain processes pain and why thoughts or memories can trigger a physical response, even long after the actual injury has healed. This is not just physical pain. It involves how our brain’s threat detection system, the amygdala, reacts to anything that reminds it of past discomfort.

Understanding this process can help you see pain from a new perspective. By learning how your mind and body react to these memories, you can find new ways to ease the impact of pain, both physical and emotional.

Reflect on this:
👉🏻 Take a moment to think about how your own experiences with pain—whether physical or emotional—might be affecting you now. How can you reframe these experiences to shift how they influence your daily life?
