About
Living with chronic pain—or supporting someone who does—can feel overwhelming and isolating. But understanding the connection between stress and pain is a crucial first step in breaking that cycle. That’s I’ve created a presentation designed to provide practical insights into the stress-pain relationship and how to better manage it. Whether you’re looking to build your own toolkit or help someone you care about, this resource offers actionable strategies that can make a meaningful difference. The stress pain management cycle explains the intricate connection between stress and pain in the body. Stress and pain are deeply linked; each one can amplify the other, creating a repeating cycle that can feel hard to break. When you’re stressed, your body responds by releasing hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which prepare you for action. While this response can be helpful in short bursts, ongoing stress can put your nervous system on high alert. This heightened state often increases muscle tension, reduces your ability to relax, and lowers your pain threshold, making any physical pain feel worse.
