About this episode
"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" This old philosophical thought experiment raises questions about observations and perception. In this episode, we discuss the invisible illness that is chronic pain and how it affects not just the physical well-being of a person but also the emotional and mental well-being. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there.
