Thank you for sharing this Rachel. As someone who has struggled with chronic pain (migraines and lower back pain) a lot of this resonates. I was struck by your example around craving and aversion too, and how I've sought to alleviate my pain often through temporary fixes like opioids, which often create pleasure signals in my body and brain.
