It’s why I love being a pain management therapist. What’s more rewarding than finding a way to soothe physical pain? There’s nothing more universally human than pain. And yet, identifying what causes it, then understanding how to address it: there’s nothing more individual than that. The search for sources of discomfort comes easily to me, of tracking the clues the mind and body hand us, of acknowledging the trauma that’s always at the root of pain.
