It’s a complicated question – and the answer is not as simple as yes or no. In this video, Dr. X (psychiatrist and pain medicine specialist) explains how trauma shapes the nervous system, why it can be a major risk factor for chronic pain, and what it means for patients living with both psychological and physical suffering.
What you’ll learn in this video:
✅ Why trauma doesn’t directly cause pain, but sets the stage for it
✅ How central sensitization works in the brain and nervous system
✅ The role of genetics, injuries, and other medical factors in chronic pain
✅ What Dr. X calls “parallel pains” — when trauma and physical pain coexist
✅ Why biopsychosocial approaches are essential for treatment
If you or someone you know struggles with chronic pain, understanding the connection between mind, body, and trauma can be life-changing.
