Like how does the pill translate to feeling well in reality just through imagination /perception of the problem being solved / altered .

Your brain is constantly constructing your reality … all the time. Things you cannot sense… play no part in your perception. Pain is pain. It’s ALL in your head. The question is where it comes from… Does it come from an injury or does the pain itself *originate in the brain*?

So if you honestly believe the pain is about to go away… and it’s a mentally constructed pain to begin with… it’ll go away.

Not all pain is real, even if it feels real.

It’s like having a wrong understanding. It feels a lot like having a correct understanding.
