Sarno and Schubiner, and the discoveries he made that led him to using short-term dynamic psychotherapy for the treatment of chronic pain. Dr. Abbass shares details of his approach—short-term dynamic psychotherapy—to treating chronic pain which includes: helping patients become aware of the emotions they have around their physical symptoms; understand how these emotions impact their symptoms and behaviors; and help them to experience their emotions in the moment so they can remove the anxiety around them and begin to heal.
