Reign of Pain at Coursera Course details
- Welcome to the comprehensive course on understanding and addressing chronic pain and associated conditions. This course spans seven modules, each designed to provide valuable insights and practical knowledge. From exploring the brain's role in pain perception to identifying the emotional and psychological factors at play, we delve deep into the mind-body connection. You'll learn to differentiate between structural and neural circuit-related pain, and discover emerging therapies like Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET). We also explore the application of this model to various conditions beyond pain. Along the way, you'll gain access to resources to further your understanding and help those dealing with chronic conditions. This course aims to empower you with knowledge and compassion, offering hope to individuals living with chronic pain and associated challenges.
