Change Your Brain with Dr. Amen

Dr. Daniel Amen joins Ed Mylett to discuss his book, "Change Your Brain, Change Your Pain," focusing on the connection between brain health and the experience of physical and emotional pain. They explore the brain's pain pathways, including the lateral pain feeling pathway, the medial pain suffering pathway, and the calming pathway, highlighting how trauma and unresolved issues can hijack these circuits. Dr. Amen shares insights on managing pain through techniques like diaphragmatic breathing, emotional freedom journaling, and addressing repressed rage. The discussion also covers the impact of adverse childhood experiences and lifestyle choices on brain health, as well as the potential risks associated with unregulated use of substances like psilocybin.
