In this episode, Dr. David Hanscom continues his discussion with Mags Clark Smith, a specialist in somatic work and mindfulness, and a contributor to a textbook on psychophysiological disorders. She highlights how guided movement can alleviate chronic pain by reducing fear and anxiety, which amplify pain responses. She emphasizes creating safety and trust to help

individuals reconnect with their bodies and overcome resistance to movement. Her work has proven particularly impactful in areas like pregnancy-related pelvic pain, where fear worsens discomfort. She explains how her approach combines reducing fear and fostering movement to promote healing, setting it apart from traditional pain management methods that often overlook the emotional and neurological dimensions of chronic pain.
