When there is a feeling where the person does not feel the ability to deal with different situations of life, he presents him in his daily living, he can invade despair and require psychological help, mood disorders, depression and Anxiety often prevails among those who suffer from chronic pain.

Some doctrines support the belief that these emotions must be repressed, however, function as an exhaust valve, their proper management, on the contrary, contributes to well -being,  The accumulation of repressed emotions can intensify pain, this has been associated with greater degree of disability in the patient.

"What tells about the pain you have?" The doctor. Jordi Montero, a specialist in neurology and author of the book "Permission to complain" (2017), affirms: "Any acute pain creates a complex emotional situation that generates a memory memory. That pain is recorded forever even if there is no harm ”.

The patient really experiences pain, in many cases due to central awareness (SC), it has not invented it, it is perceived in that way. Today, thanks to very specialized neuroimaging studies it can be detected when pain is experienced even if there is no apparent damage, it has been observed that people who have acute pain have similar brain activity to that of patients suffering from chronic pain.

Due to the pains of pain that the body keeps the above happens, the brain likes Psychoeducation, the strategies used in hypnosis, suggestions at deeper levels of consciousness: alpha, beta, gamma, delta and Theta, logotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (TCC) and others can greatly benefit the patient the patient.

Health is a right, but her responsibility lies in the individual.

Mental and physical flexibility: potential antiálgic

"The movement is antialgic and chronic pain decreases. People who move and move their brain, obviously, are busy in other issues, can improve their acute pain". Jordi Montero

Three substantial elements for pain management would be:

Do we have to resign ourselves with what we have "touched to live"?”Marta Guerri Pons (2014), clinical psychologist, nurse and specialist in the management of anxiety disorders he wrote: "Emotional Intelligence: A useful guide to improve your life", As the name implies, the book can be a lighthouse that guides you towards greater well -being, as well as providing you with tools to get a better management of your emotions in a practical and simple way.
