In this episode we welcome Dr. Chris Goodrich who specializes in how the brain and body interact especially in terms of pain. We talk about the connection between mental health and physical pain, where pain starts in the brain, and the difference between structural damage and long term pain after the injury has healed. We break down how neuropathways for pain light up emotional centers in the brain, and how long term disorders have more roots in mental health issues that physical injury than previously understood. Is pain signals, or triggers? Tune in and find out!

Somatic symptom disorder is characterized by an extreme focus on physical symptoms — such as pain or fatigue — that causes major emotional distress and problems functioning. You may or may not have another diagnosed medical condition associated with these symptoms, but your reaction to the symptoms is not normal.
