Chronic pain isn't just about what's happening in the body, it's about what's happening in the brain, too. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano is joined by Dr. Mark Olson for a conversation that unpacks the deeper layers of pain—where neuroscience, trauma, and lived experience all intersect.Dr. Olson brings a trauma-informed lens to the table, helping us understand how pain is shaped not only by physical injury but by emotion, memory, and the nervous system's learned responses. Together, they explore why chronic pain is so often misunderstood, and how a deeper understanding—by both patients and practitioners—can shift everything.They talk about the brain's incredible ability to adapt, how coping mechanisms develop as survival tools, and why compassion and connection are just as critical as treatment plans. This episode offers more than information—it offers validation for those who've been told their pain is “all in their head,” and clarity for those still trying to make sense of it all.Tune in if you're ready to rethink what pain really is, and how healing might start with being truly seen.Find Dr. Mark Olson Online Here:Website: dr-olson.comInstagram: @dr.markolsonFacebook: Dr. OlsonLinkedIn: Mark OlsonFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastHighlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Neuroscience(01:47) Understanding Pain: The Science Behind It(08:48) The Importance of Trauma-Informed Care(12:23) Navigating the Pain Game: Personal Experiences(19:47) The Complexity of Pain Perception(25:35) The Duality of Existence: Living with Pain(31:29) Educating Practitioners and Patients(42:33) Conclusion and Resources for Chronic Pain Management

We often think of scars as just faded reminders of past injuries—something cosmetic, maybe annoying, but nothing more. But what if a scar, even one from years ago, is quietly interfering with your body's ability to heal? In this episode, Dr. Odell discusses a lesser-known concept from bioregulatory medicine: scar interference fields. These aren't just surface issues. They can create hidden disruptions in your nervous system, block energy flow, and lead to symptoms that seem totally unrelated to where the scar is. He'll also explain what interference fields are, how they work, and why they're often missed in conventional medicine. You'll hear how old surgical scars, c-section incisions, or even childhood injuries might be sending the wrong signals through your body—keeping it stuck in patterns of dysfunction. From therapies like neural injections and cold laser to castor oil packs, trauma release, and somatic work, we'll explore practical tools to reset these blocked circuits and help the body finally move forward. We also share real-life stories of people who found unexpected relief—physically and emotionally—once their scars were treated properly. If you've ever dealt with symptoms that don't add up or healing that seems stuck, this episode might just connect the dots.

Send us a textWhen you're battling inflammatory bowel disease, the wounds aren't always visible. Beyond the physical symptoms lies a reality many patients face but few discuss openly – the psychological impact of medical trauma.Dr. Christina Jagielski, clinical health psychologist at Michigan Medicine, brings her expertise to this powerful conversation about trauma-informed care in the IBD community. With surprising candor, she reveals how she discovered that approximately half of gastroenterologists avoid screening for trauma history – not because they don't care, but because they feel unprepared to respond appropriately to what patients might share.Through Robin's emotional personal story of emergency room panic attacks and medical gaslighting, we witness firsthand how past medical experiences shape current healthcare interactions. The conversation dives deep into practical strategies for both patients and providers: how to communicate triggers without reliving trauma, why certain medical settings feel unsafe, and what small changes can make enormous differences in patient comfort.Dr. Jagielski challenges the longstanding approach of selective trauma screening based on gender or diagnosis, advocating instead for universal trauma-informed care. "People living with IBD are so much more than their labs and test results," she reminds us, emphasizing that acknowledging patients' lived experiences is just as crucial as treating their physical symptoms.Whether you're a patient who's experienced medical trauma, a healthcare provider seeking to create safer spaces, or someone supporting a loved one with IBD, this episode offers transformative insights into healing the hidden psychological wounds of chronic illness.

On this episode of the Victim Service Podcast, we explore the importance of trauma-informed care and its role in a survivor's healing journey. In the first segment, Tamara Nelson, LMHC and Certified Trauma-Informed Yoga Therapist will be discussing trauma-informed care – an understanding in the way that trauma affects the way a person thinks, feels and behaves. Trauma-informed care means creating a world that can foster growth, resiliency, and healing. It is also anticipating how trauma survivors may respond to our words and actions and doing our part to create a world that does not cause further harm. In the second segment, VSC Victim Advocate and Crisis Counselor Tish Olasande will be sharing what a trauma-informed crisis response looks like. At the Victim Service Center, Advocacy and Crisis Counselors are the first person that a victim meets with.

In this episode, Lauren and Jessica dive into the second stage of the Five Ives framework: Revive. After becoming self-aware and stepping out of pure survival mode, the journey into Revive is all about beginning the slow, intentional process of healing. It's not quick or flashy—in fact, healing is inherently soft, gentle, and gradual. This stage is about rewiring our brains and taking consistent micro-steps forward, both individually and as an organization. Lauren and Jessica explore what it starts to feel like as we shift out of survival and begin to nurture ourselves with care and attention.They highlight five key areas—food, hydration, sleep, social interaction, and movement—as foundational to this healing process. Even simple actions like adding one nutritious food to your plate, drinking more water, or getting ten minutes of daily movement can make a real impact. For organizations, supporting Revive might look like offering meditation spaces, encouraging real breaks, or fostering safe spaces for social connection. Whether you're an individual wanting to heal or a leader supporting your team, Revive is about embracing the slow, steady path to well-being.Resources:Peanut AppOther related resources from Five Ives: Blog Post: Survive- The First Stage of the Five IvesWhat are the Five Ives?Why Traditional Employee Wellness Programs Fail (And What Works Instead)Survive Mode: Recognizing When Your Organization is in CrisisWhat are the Five Ives?Podcast:A Five Category Regulation Framework - Five Ives!Using Our 5-Category Regulation Framework in the WorkplaceImpacting Organizational Culture: Explaining the First 2 PsImpacting Organization Culture: Explaining the Second 2 PsOur Online Programs: Behavior BreakthroughPolicing Under PressureBoard Governance TrainingSubscribe to our mailing list and find out more about Stress, Trauma, Behavior and the Brain!Check out our Facebook Group – Five Ives!Five Ives Website websiteThe Behavior Hub blogIf you're looking for support as you grow your organization's capacity for caring for staff and the community, we would love to be part of that journey. Schedule a free discovery call and let us be your guideAs an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
