Welcome to OvercomingPain.com – a place where you can learn how to feel better, whether your pain is physical, emotional, or a combination of both.

Recent discoveries in neuroscience have revolutionized pain management. While pain often originates in the body, it always involves the brain. In fact, there is an 80% overlap in the brain regions responsible for processing physical and emotional pain.

​

The great thing about the brain is its ability to change—it can be modified by experience. Advances in our understanding of the brain have led to new strategies for overcoming pain by altering brain activity patterns that sustain it. These approaches range from SSRI antidepressants to meditation and innovative psychological therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These methods target the deeper areas of the brain where sensory-emotional aspects of pain are stored.

​

Because they align with how the brain naturally functions, these techniques are both efficient and effective. Consider the difference between experiencing a walk on the beach at sunset (or listening to music or sharing coffee with a friend) versus simply telling yourself to relax. Sensory experiences have a far greater impact than mere mental instructions.
