Pain Isn't Just Physical. Here's the Neuroscience That Proves It.
About this episode
The episode explores the neuroscience of pain and how understanding it can empower individuals in their healing process.
You've been told pain is "all in your head" — but what if that's not dismissive, it's actually the key to healing?

Then, Abdul-Ghaaliq Lalkhen takes us deeper into the anatomy of physical suffering — and what it really means to endure it. Sponsored By: Notion — Try Custom Agents now at notion.com/daily
