Hey Dr Hyman,
Quick question: Isn’t it the pain in the finger that triggers a signal to the brain through the nerves and then brain “interprets” that the finger has been hurt?
I am not sure I get how they are two “separate” pains.
Could you enlighten me?
No doc here but a question to you that may be the answer, is it not the physical pain then the upset ,emotional, anxiety “pain” that means your dealing with two issues versus the very stoical person who can laugh at the situation or chat as if nothing is wrong but still have the physical pain?
Just my take on it
I kind of replies to this question in my comment that you can find in the comment section. But to anser your question more precise:
The mental pain is an automated thought process that creates suffering in addition of the sensory pain. By meditation automated thoughts are inhibited or in the munks case eliminated. Therefore only sensory pain in the present/now is experienced.
Suffering through mental processes can for example last long after the sensory pain has disappeated.
Great needed topic

What’s with these 1 min videos? This channel is losing what it used to be. Unsubscribed
You have no idea what real pain is. I learned to walk three times and go without sleep for weeks and only can sleep barley one hour I wish for death everyday and cannot cry as I rain out of tears. Thanks for the info but I need someone that knows real mental and physical pain
The basic terminology this guy seems to be unfamiliar with is pain and suffering. Pain is sensory and suffering is created through a mental process.
Pain memory ( emotionally speaking) is a major contributor to opioid addiction.
