Central asensitisation is the result of a feedback loop. Your body-mind does not understand context or even discriminate between uinside and outside - since it relies on the cognitive level of mind to make these distinctions.

Its response is then two-fold :
The audio track goes some way to explaining how to interrupt and reverse central sensitisation. A brief and inadequate summary of this is something like : (a) Some cognitive input is required. (b) It's important to at least begin to re-frame your attitude towards your body to one that is more compassionate and less fearful or hateful. (c) It's important to begin to find and explore spaces in your field of attention that are outside the pain. And (d) it's also important to at least begin to build skills in shifting attention in ways that suit the way your nervous system evolved.
