The Psychology of Pain and Resilience

Most people link pain to a physical injury, but the experience of pain is also deeply rooted in the mind; our perspective and approach to managing pain can have a huge influence on its overall impact. Dr. Cory Shaffer talks with Dr. John Lefebvre, Professor of Psychology at Wofford College and trained clinical psychologist specializing in topics related to physical and mental health, about Dr. Lefebvre's research on people's experience of pain, especially its influence on personality, catastrophizing, and memory.
