Hi
@mango
In the quote of one of your posts above they say current neurological research supports their theory. Do they cite their sources? And if so could you post them here?
Somebody who contacted Maroti, to ask him about the sources for that particular quote, shared the following list:
Recommended general introductory reading: "Hidden from view" by Schubiner & Abbass.

How much pain you have is affected by how you handle it and is treated mentally and emotionally. If healthcare took this into account, more people would feel better, according to researchers we meet in the World of Knowledge.
Much would be gained if primary care in Sweden would spend more time on the psychological and emotional parts of the problem of long-term physical pain. That is the opinion of Steven Linton, professor of clinical psychology at Örebro University.
Many in Sweden with long-term, chronic pain never get their problems sorted out in primary care. Anna-Lena has for about ten years sought care for her pain, without receiving either a cure or a diagnosis.
Psychological factors are crucial for how an individual experiences and manages their physical pain. But research from Örebro University shows that healthcare professionals often underestimate the care seekers' catastrophizing thoughts and the aggravating interplay between the physical pain and emotions such as anxiety and fear. If the care staff confirms that they understand the patient's experience, negative emotions can decrease instead of increase.
This is the second part of two in our miniseries about how long-term pain is received in care.
