🎙️ Most people respond to pain with one goal: make it stop. But Dr. Pedram Shojai reveals that pain isn't a mistake—it's a message your body is desperately trying to send you. Drawing from decades of treating patients and studying traditional medicine, he teaches you how to separate pain (the raw sensation) from suffering (the story you tell yourself), and decode the specific signals different pain locations are sending about what's breaking down in your system. Through a guided practice using witness consciousness, you'll learn to read your body's language with precision, track patterns like a detective, and finally understand what your pain is actually trying to tell you.
🎯 What You'll Learn:
🔑 Key Insights:
"Pain is a message, not a mistake. Where pain shows up, how it feels, when it appears—all specific signals. We never learned to read that language."
"Responding to all pain the same way is like turning off the fire alarm. Pain has multiple functions requiring different responses."
"You are not the sensation, you are the awareness observing it. Precision creates objectivity and reveals what your body is trying to tell you."
💡 Action Steps:
🎧 Perfect for: Anyone dealing with chronic pain that doctors can't fully explain, people who've lost interoceptive precision and can only say "my back hurts" vaguely, those responding to all pain by trying to make it stop without investigating the message, or anyone ready to become literate in their own body's language.
