<p>Freeing yourself from chronic pain can be a frustrating, demoralizing experience. So often we tackle the symptoms of pain, while their root causes remain a mystery. In this episode, the Amens discuss the role that trauma plays in creating pain in both the brain and the body, as well as interventions that address the root cause of the trauma. You will learn about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) scores, and what these numbers may tell you about yourself. You will also learn about why EMDR has been so successful in reducing the lingering effects of emotional trauma, and thus eliminating emotion and physical pain.</p>
