Does therapy mean my pain is “all in my head”?

Definitely not! Chronic pain is real, and it’s a complex interaction of physical, neurological, and psychological factors. Even though pain is processed in the brain, it doesn’t mean your mind is making it up. 

One of the great benefits of therapy is gaining a deeper understanding of how your brain processes pain and the different factors that influence how you experience chronic pain. This helps you identify more opportunities to break cycles and use strategies to care for yourself and manage pain more effectively.
