Lullaby Theories: A Secret Message
Coat of Arms
With the help of science, we may have some control over the amount of pain we feel. “The gate control theory of pain asserts that non-painful input closes the ‘gates’ to painful input, which prevents pain sensation from traveling to the central nervous system. Therefore, stimulation by non-noxious input is able to suppress pain.” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_control_theory
In this Lullaby Theories episode, “A Secret Message,” four year old twins, Sophia and Lucy discuss pain, the gate control theory, and some ideas to reduce pain with their mother. In doing so, they discover that sometimes it’s as simple as ‘happy life, happy finger.’
