David Butler - How Your Brain Shapes the Experience of Pain
When it comes to pain (whether acute or chronic) perception matters greatly.
What you learned about it during your life and how those neural pathways were established give an insight into how we experience pain.
David Butler is a world-renown expert on the topic of pain, so don’t be surprised if your physiotherapist, osteopath, chiropractic, or any other medical professional nods when you mention his name.
If you’ve ever wondered about the exact steps that are needed to access the brain’s capacity for neuroplasticity and the pathways that cause or reduce pain (or how those pathways are formed) – he definitely knows the answers. And during our conversation he will also guide you through a self-reflection technique to explore how the words and language you use are affecting your pain.
This talk is a combination of the things that David learned through years of work and research, and practical steps that you can take to change your own response to pain. It was originally recorded for the 2020 Mindful Injury Recovery World Summit, but David and I both agreed that it provides incredible value, and so it’s being re-released as part of Mindful Injury Recovery Talks.
