Chronic pain doesn’t have to control your life. In this powerful episode, Pain Elimination Coach Scotty Stiles breaks down the real reason most people stay stuck in chronic pain — and how neuroplastic pain, emotional stress, fear, and old conditioning keep the pain cycle alive. Scotty explains how to heal chronic pain, how to rewire the brain, and how to break free from the 7 F’s that fuel pain: fear, focus, fighting, frustration, fixing, figuring out, and feeling forlorn. If you’ve wondered why your chronic pain doesn’t match your MRI… why nothing seems to fix it… or why pain moves around your body — this conversation will finally make it all make sense. Scotty shares exactly how he healed 15+ years of chronic back pain, hip pain, shoulder pain, and anxiety using mindbody techniques, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, emotional awareness, and nervous system retraining
