Greetings and salutations! Today's topic is all about scents. Aromatherapy helps me with my pain significantly so I wanted to share some research and first-hand experiences with it on today's show. I lightly cover synesthesia, imagination, stimulating the senses to survive those shitty moments we are far too familiar with, as well as the effects aromatherapy has on the brain! If it can help one other human person out there, awesome! I hope it helps you and I hope you enjoy!

This episode explores gaming as an alternative pain management option, recorded while gaming. Improving pain tolerance via video games is definitely of interest to me. I've certainly benefited from game play during my CRPS flare-ups (and surgical procedures, to name a couple) and believe various game types could thoroughly benefit others who deal with chronic pain, not just acute pain. If talk about canna-gummies, being distracted while distracted, gaming, and the psychology of color and emotion in video games is of interest to you, check it out! It got a little weird, but it was fun.

Happy National Therapy Animal Day! It's not today, but it recently was, so here we are. The first minute and a half is just nonsense. You've been warned. It's nonsense and laughing. As for the rest of the episode, we talk about the effects pets have on people with chronic pain. There's evidence that they make life worth living, but what else do they bring into our lives? How do our pets change our lives?
