Can pain and physical symptoms exist without any physical damage? Join us for a mind-bending exploration on the MindBodyCouple podcast as we unravel the mysteries of neuroplastic pain and symptoms. Hosts Tanner Murtaugh and Anne Hampson dive into the science behind chronic pain/symptoms, explaining how the brain can misinterpret harmless signals as threats, leading to real pain/symptoms despite the absence of injury. We break down complex concepts like "chronic primary pain" and "chronic secondary pain," revealing the brain's role in amplifying these sensations. You'll get a firsthand look at compelling studies, including the amusing yet enlightening "hairdryer study," demonstrating how our beliefs can shape our physical experience. 

Learn about groundbreaking treatments for neuroplastic pain and symptoms with Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT). We'll discuss a fascinating study where a simulated car crash triggered neck pain in participants, mirroring global chronic whiplash syndrome rates. Building on Dr. Sarno's pioneering work, we'll show you how altering beliefs and processing emotions can drastically improve chronic pain. Discover the impressive results of PRT, where a staggering 98% of participants reported pain reduction, and 66% became pain-free or nearly pain-free. We unpack the five essential factors for treating neuroplastic pain/symptoms and highlight the transformative somatic safety method. Tune in to equip yourself with the knowledge and techniques to start your journey toward a pain and symptom free living.
