How To Alleviate Pain With Mindfulness

Sean Fargo explores how to alleviate pain with mindfulness, exploring the paradox of being with a painful experience while at the same time easing it. Overtime, it becomes easier to sit with what we are feeling and get closer to whatever pain we are experiencing. Sean also notes situations where mindfulness may not be the best intervention for dealing with pain, such as when individuals suffer from PTSD or schizophrenia.
