From Theory to Therapy: Applying Enactivism in Pain Treatment
In this compelling episode of The Modern Pain Podcast, we dive deep into the concept of enactivism and its revolutionary implications for clinicians working in pain management. Joined by Peter Stilwell, an expert straddling the worlds of philosophy, cognitive sciences, and clinical practice, we explore how enactivism can move us beyond conventional biopsychosocial models.
If you're a clinician looking to elevate your approach to pain treatment, this episode is for you. We unpack how to bridge the gap between theory and therapy, helping you navigate the complexities of pain from an enactive standpoint. Peter's insights offer a transformative look at avoiding 'siloed' practices and understanding pain as an embedded experience that is far more than just neural signals.
Tune in to discover a new paradigm that could lead to more job satisfaction, happier patients, and a comprehensive framework to work with any patient successfully. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just stepping into the world of pain management, this episode will arm you with actionable insights to make a meaningful impact on your practice.
