Address underlying stress
“We know that stress affects pain and more specifically, our thoughts are so powerful that they can affect our pain either positively or negatively.” According to Dr. Patti McCartney, founder of Herb-n-Wellness, an online platform supporting mental and emotional wellness
“Studies conducted through brain scans have revealed that a focus on pain increases the pain in your brain making it actually worse. This occurs because negative thoughts about pain strengthen the same areas of the brain related to pain processing. A key part of relieving chronic pain is linked to the ability to calm the system. Ongoing pain can result in an onslaught of negative thoughts which must be reframed.” McCartney expkains that Herb-n-Wellness, offers a holistic approach of emotional support tools that include Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Complimentary Alternative Medicine.
