Why Grief Can Literally Become Chronic Pain (The Neuroscience Explained)

Grief doesn't just affect your emotions—it changes your nervous system. In this clip from Trauma Rewired, Jennifer Wallace, Elisabeth Kristof, and Piper Rose explore why grief can feel physically painful, how suppressing emotional pain may contribute to chronic tension and pain loops, and why the nervous system sometimes inhibits the grieving process to protect us. Learn how grief, chronic pain, nervous system regulation, and emotional processing are deeply connected, and why healing isn't about avoiding pain—it's about safely moving through it.
