Workshop presentation by Dr. David Hanscom at the International Conference of Functional Neurology and Rehabilitation in Las Vegas, NV, October 1720, 2019. Dr. Hanscom explains how anxiety creates the same chemical response in the body as when facing a physical threat or "fight or flight" situation. Fortunately, there is a way to combat this reaction when it is triggered by our thoughts, allowing us to calm our nervous system and stop our bodies from creating a cycle of chronic pain.
