Real Talk, Whole Life

Episode 122: Psychosomatic vs. Psychophysiologic Disorder w/ Dr. David Clarke


Listen Later

Psychophysiologic Disorders Association (PPDA) president Dr. David Clarke, MD, talks to Stacy about why your pain may really be “all in your head” and causing very real symptoms. Dr. Clarke has worked with thousands of chronically ill patients who did not find answers through diagnostic testing. They dive into pain-relief psychology, the physical differences of someone’s brain who has a PPD, and why the term “psychosomatic” gets a bad rap.
