How does mindset influence chronic pain, recovery, and treatment outcomes? And what role does identity play in the healing process?
In this episode, host Tom Hoppe is joined by Nicholas Held, Interim Scientific Director of the Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research (CIMVHR). Nicholas shares insights from his recent research exploring mindset, identity, and transition during physical rehabilitation and recovery. Together, they discuss how these psychosocial factors affect chronic pain management—and what clinicians and patients alike can take from this evolving understanding.
