Chronic Pain Reset with Dr. Afton Hassett

Dr. Afton Hassett, author of "The Chronic Pain Reset," returns to Spondycast to discuss her book's innovative approach to pain self-management. The conversation centers on how the brain processes pain, emphasizing the concept of "neurons that fire together wire together," and how this principle applies to both physical activities and pain experiences. Dr. Hassett details the book's 30-day reset program, which includes activities, skills, and practices aimed at improving well-being and reducing pain. The discussion highlights the importance of addressing various domains such as relaxation, sleep, adaptive thoughts, physical activity, positive emotions, social connections, and meaning/purpose to create a holistic thriving plan.
