We open this episode with our guest's thoughtful words — a reminder that pain is never just physical, and never just medical: “You can’t separate the social aspect of being human from the personal experience of pain because it touches on all of those sides of ourselves… Pain is such a complex phenomenon.”Laura is a pain clinician and educator who approaches pain through a whole-person lens. In this conversation, she gently expands the way we think about pain, inviting us to step beyond the usual medical framework and consider pain as a deeply human experience — one shaped by our stories, identities, relationships, and the world we live in. In this episode, we explore: Why understanding pain requires more than a medical modelThe emotional, social, and existential layers of the pain experienceHow chronic and persistent pain shape — and are shaped by — identityHow curiosity and conversation can move our understanding forwardThis is an episode for anyone living with pain, supporting someone through it, or simply curious about a more humane, connected way of understanding the complexity of pain.If you would like to connect with Laura, you can find here through these links:website: laurarathbone.com Instagram: instagram.com/laura.painspecialist If you would like to connect with Unabridged You, you can do so through these links:Website: https://unabridgedyou.buzzsprout.com/ Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/UnabridgedYouInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/unabridged_you
