You can't sleep if you're in pain. And it's hard to reduce pain if you can't sleep. It can be a vicious cycle.

In this episode, Dr. Alissa Wolfe, creator of The Chronic Pain Breakup Method, explains her unique approach to managing pain.

We talk about:

- how pain keeps you awake
- why it takes more than regulating the nervous system to stop pain
- how she uses neuroscience to help her clients with pain
- how sleep aids interfere with the healing process
