Workshop presentation by Dr. David Hanscom at the International Conference of Functional Neurology and Rehabilitation in Las Vegas, NV, October 17-20, 2019. Dr. Hanscom explains how anxiety creates the same chemical response in the body as when facing a physical threat or "fight or flight" situation. Fortunately, there is a way to combat this reaction when it is triggered by our thoughts, allowing us to calm our nervous system and stop our bodies from creating a cycle of chronic pain.
