Welcome to the Pain Free for Life podcast. In this episode, Dr. Rob Vanbergen interviews Anna Holtzman. Anna is a chronic pain recovery therapist and coach. Dr. Rob and Anna discuss the correlation between mental health and how it can affect your chronic pain. Anna dives into her own experiences with chronic pain especially dealing with chronic migraines and her ten year journey. What Anna sees most in her patients is their tendency to struggle with self compassion. She stresses the importance of being able to unblock self criticism to make way for healing with the mind body connection.
