👎🏼 It's easy to believe that pain lives just in our aching back or bad knee.

🧠 But neuroscience says pain is constructed by the BRAIN-

💥 including the limbic system, key to constructing EMOTIONS 💥

‼️ Pain is both physical AND emotional 100% of the time 👏🏼👏🏼

❌ There is no "pain center" in the brain.

🧠 Rather, pain is a diffuse neurological process involving MANY brain sites, including PFC (attention), cerebral cortex (thoughts) + limbic system, critical parts of our emotion circuitry💥

📣 Pain is *both* physical and emotional ALWAYS 👏🏼
