- So, you're wondering, is this all in my head?
Well, certainly speaking, all pain occurs in your head
because that's where we have our feeling.
But it's been my experience
that someone who has a persistent perception of pain,
no, it's not all in their head.
Yes, there's a physical problem,
but any kind of stress or illness makes any problem worse,
you know, if the dog gets sick, then your cold gets worse.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't address the cold,
but you should also address the other issues that come up.
It's very scary to be injured and a musician
because there's always somebody else
that you're competing for for a slot.
I often do a dual approach
where we treat the physical this way
and we do the psychological that way,
and they both come together
and make an integrated human being.
So, no, it's not all in your head, but let's pay attention
to what's going on in your head, too.
