Long-standing trauma from over a decade ago can worsen chronic pain sensitivity and delay healing. Educating patients about this connection, then treating specific symptoms like sleep problems, helps people improve.
Problem with remote trauma, so you got a 10-plus-year-old trauma, it's like all old traumas, it takes a lot longer to heal. But I have had people, you know, I explained to them what's going on, I explained how central pain or pain sensitivity can be aggravated by these things, and, and just said, we're going to add these specific therapies and see what happens with your fill-in-the-blank symptoms, whether it's sleep disturbance or pain, etc. So I have seen that be helpful.
