Understanding Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is incredibly common, but chronic injury is not. That would be like having a cut that never heals, which is incredibly uncommon!

At a cocktail party there are lots of voices, but hopefully you are focused on the one voice of the person you are speaking to. You inhibit (i.e. don’t listen to) the many voices, and clearly hear the one.
