In this episode I interview Dr. Laura Katz a psychologist about mental health and pain. We talk about what psychologists do, how they help people in pain and from her perspective what pain is. We talk about common themes that comes up in her group therapy work, what pain catastrophizing is, what fear avoidance is and what she has found to be most helpful in the treatment of persisting or chronic pain. She also shares information about her pelvic pain program at McMaster University.
