Train your brain away from pain

This is a 2-hour interactive presentation led by Josie Weaver that features breath and mind exercises and centers on the Empowered Relief pain skills course developed by Stanford University pain scientist, Dr. Beth Darnall. Being alive means that you will at some point experience pain in your life. How you think and feel about pain in general will in many ways determine your pain experience. Did you know that practicing the “relaxation response” on a regular basis helps you manage pain? This presentation will explain why these things are true and backed up by science and also give you simple tools to handle pain or support others in your life who may be experiencing a prolonged or chronic pain experience.
