Unlearn Your Pain with Dr. Howard Schubiner

Chronic pain is often misunderstood, and many people feel like they have no choice but to live with it. But what if pain could be unlearned? In this episode of Building Resilience, I sit down with Dr. Howard Schubiner, one of the world's leading experts on chronic pain, to explore the science behind pain, the role of the brain in creating pain, and how neuroplasticity allows us to rewire our pain experience.
