Do We Really Need To Process Childhood Trauma To Heal From Chronic Pain?

There's a common believe that in order to heal from chronic pain you must process your childhood trauma. Many clinicians strongly advocate that those with chronic pain should imagine your parents and express your anger by hitting pillows, hypnotically regress back to childhood events and replay them, or write letters to abusers. And these techniques can work. But are they really required? This and more is discussed by Dr. Kevin Cuccaro & Sharna Prasad DPT in this episode of Straight Shot Health. This episode is also brought to you by ThePainWebinar. Interested in monthly live clinical pain training? Sign up to learn more at thepainwebinar.com
