Dr. David Clarke on How Bad Parenting Can Be the Cause of an Actual Pain in the Butt

Dr. David Clarke has spent his career helping people recover from mysterious aches and pains across their body. The diagnosis? “Stress Illness” - the body’s extreme physical reaction to emotional factors. 60% of the time, he says, the stress dates back to childhood, where parents have the opportunity to make or break a child’s chances of developing pain. Join us as Dr. Clarke shares some of his wildest stories, along with what he’s learned as a parent and how to avoid falling into the “tough love trap.” Listen to the full interview on iTunes (35 mins) | Or listen on Google Music
 

Dr. Clarke's interview marks the inaugural episode of "Like Mind, Like Body" - the new Curable podcast. Each week, we will interview top researchers, best-selling authors, and field experts about the astonishing ways the mind can affect the body.
