You’ve been lied to about pain—here’s the truth
Rachel Zoffness, pain scientist and UCSF assistant clinical professor, explains why pain is a brain-driven warning system, not just a body problem. She discusses the biopsychosocial model, pain memory and central sensitization. Practical topics include hypnosis, brain plasticity, and a simple protocol of sleep, movement, nutrition, emotion regulation, and social support.
