THINK, ACT, FEEL AND TALK yourself out of pain: The way you think, act, feel and talk can either KEEP you in pain or end your pain.
Why Fear Is The Biggest Challenge For Those In Pain
BIGGEST CHALLENGE FOR THOSE WITH PAIN - IT'S MOSTLY FEAR. I asked my viewers to let me know their biggest challenges and it mostly came down to FEAR. Fear of the pain, fear of the future, fear of the symptom, fear of what the pain means for their future, fear, fear, fear.
Do Other's Success Stories Inspire You Or Upset You?
As you struggle to end your pain, sometimes you will come across someone else who has already gotten better or achieved some reduction in their symptoms. You can either allow that to upset you, or choose to have their success inspire you. Here's what I suggest…
What the heck are Unresolved Emotions? And why do they matter?
UNRESOLVED EMOTIONS... WHAT ARE THEY? I believe that unresolved emotions are what cause virtually every stress induced illness known. Here's a suggestion on how we can easily resolve these negative emotions that we have either been running away from (repressing) or clinging onto for way too long.
The body heals, right? So, why have I been in pain for so long?
When we are deep deep into chronic pain, it is VERY easy to believe the diagnosis that you are broken or structurally damaged. However, if pain lasts longer than 8 weeks (the normal time to heal), something else is going on.
The Brain and Why it Creates Pain.
The brain is designed to do a few things. 1. Keep us safe. 2. Give us exactly what we want. 3. Create efficiency on things we task it to do most often. Learn how this relates to chronic pain and TMS. (what I call distraction pain)
My Story of Pain and Recovery
Several viewers have asked me to share my story. I've shared parts of it in the past, but wanted to do another update.
How to Stop Freaking out about the Pain
When your pain is screaming at you, how do you NOT freak out about it? This video will walk you through how pain starts and then more importantly becomes chronic. And what makes pain chronic is what keeps it going.
It's not your fault that you are in pain.
After discovering the work of Dr. Sarno, many people assume that they gave themselves the pain and get very angry at themselves for creating this pain in themselves. Listen in as I dispel this belief.
How do I feel my emotions?
Many people tell me that they are numb and when they try to allow themselves to feel their emotions, they are numb. They can't seem to access their emotions.
Getting Pain Free takes Practice. What are you practicing daily?
Are you using Visualization correctly?
If you aren't using visualization as a tool to end your pain and other symptoms, it's likely that you are still using visualization. Unfortunately, by default, you are likely visualizing things you don't want.
Are you Afraid of your Pain?
If yes, I get it. I was afraid for well over a decade. But fearing the pain is not helping you. It’s keeping you stuck.
Will Stress always mean increased pain or symptoms?
While this may currently be the case, it’s a conditioned response. We can break that conditioning. Stress is normal - just like emotions are. Trying to avoid stress won’t help.
Back Spasms - Treatment? - Resuming Physical Activity?
Do you have Back Spasms? What about Treatment? - What about Resuming Physical Activity? For more about what causes chronic pain - and back spasms, check out my other video: What Causes Chronic Pain?
Are Book Cures Possible? Are they Likely?
You may have heard some people read Dr Sarno's book and got rid of their pain almost immediately. Why not you? Here's why.
Pain and Neuroplasticity. Why it matters.
If you have TMS, or what I like to call DISTRACTION PAIN, this video will explain really well how a single episode of pain turns chronic. Your brain learned how to stay in pain. The good news is you can learn to eliminate it too.
Why pain becomes chronic. Also, why your reaction to pain keeps it locked in.
What instructions are you giving your brain?
What you think about all day long matters. Here’s why…
Neuroplasticity and Pain. Why what you think about all day long matters more than most other things you can do. Chronic pain and other chronic symptoms can be made worse or better based on what instructions you give your brain. What you focus on magnifies.
Is there life after chronic pain?
YES YES YES there IS life after chronic pain. You are not destined to a lifetime of pain. Learn what’s causing the pain. Shift your mindset about it. Put your focus where it belongs. AWAY from the pain and towards the life you want to create. It’s all possible.
