"Stress doesn't cause chronic pain, trauma does. Understanding this difference changes everything about how we heal." – Dr. Aimie Apigian

Chronic pain affects millions of people who've been told their symptoms are just from stress. They've tried relaxation techniques, stress management, and lifestyle changes, but nothing really seems to work. They’re left feeling stuck, exhausted, and frustrated that their body just won’t heal.
Why does the body stay in pain even when the injury has healed?
In this episode, Dr. Aimie challenges what most people believe about chronic pain. Instead of blaming stress, she shows how chronic pain actually comes from trauma stored in the body, and why this matters so much for healing.
Drawing from her own experience with chronic shoulder pain after a collarbone fracture, Dr. Aimie explains how her body was storing trauma, not just stress. Even after surgery and treatments, the pain wouldn't go away until she discovered what was really happening in her body.
You'll discover the difference between stress and trauma responses, why your body might be stuck in a chronic trauma response, and the hidden biochemical imbalances that make some people more likely to develop chronic pain.
You'll learn:
[1:45] Why stress does NOT cause chronic pain (and what actually does!)
[5:20] The critical line of overwhelm that turns stress into trauma
[11:34] What happens in the nervous system when you feel trapped and powerless
[16:33] Why unresolved trauma keeps your body stuck in a danger response
[21:15] The role of biochemical imbalances and why they increase pain sensitivity
[26:06] How oxidative stress and mitochondria contribute to functional freeze
[30:12] The hidden link between copper excess, anxiety, and chronic pain
[34:52] Practical steps to repair your biology and help your body feel safe again
Whether you're someone struggling with chronic pain or a practitioner seeking better tools to help clients, this episode reveals why understanding trauma biology, not just stress management, is the key to breaking free from chronic pain and reclaiming your life.
