Pain is subjective and several factors influenced the diagnosis and treatment of pain in patients.In this podcast, you will learn:-        The complexities involved in diagnosing and treating pain.-        How to recognize and deal with our own biases in the diagnosis and treatment of pain.      Diagnosing and treating pain are not straightforward because pain is a complex and subjective experience composed of both physical and emotional dimensions. The way we perceive our own pain and others’ pain is influenced by several factors, such as mood, emotional states, cognitive fatigue, sleep deprivation and ethnic and gender biases. Taking into account this complexity can lead to effective diagnosis and treatment. Recognizing this helps us learn to recognize how we unconsciously get in the way. And recognizing our own habits helps us step out of them. The obstacle becomes the way. There are two home practices for module 7. (1) Noticing the bias loops when you are diagnosing or treating pain in patients. (2) Noticing and turning toward your own pain instead of running away from it via curiosity and kindness.GUIDED MEDITATIONSG.A.I.N., Grounding, Acknowledge, Interest, Need meditation (5min).
