How To Heal Chronic Pain

✨ We can heal chronic pain & symptoms when we regulate our nervous system state from threat physiology to safety physiology.

✨ It is my mission to illuminate the path toward your unique self healing needs. There is nothing more important in life than living in a state of peace and in a body at ease. Taking the initiative to invest in coaching will enhance your commitment to self care, which can give you the opportunity to get your life back and create lasting change.

✨ Knowledge that neuroplastic pain or symptoms are inherently safe reduces an illusion of danger.

✨ As fear decreases, so does the pain.

✨ We know that neuroplastic symptoms are not to be feared, as painful as they are, and that “it may hurt but it cannot harm” (Dr. Howard Schubiner). The brain can make a misinterpretation of inherently safe yet painful sensations in the body, where our brain then registers this somatic information as more of a threat than it actually is.

✨ When we rewire the brain and nervous system toward safety, our physiology will reflect this and turn off the danger neural circuits responsible for your pain or symptoms. Trust the process, because when our system is met with a high dose of safety, this is where we transform!

✨ Many of us somaticize our emotions when our needs are not being met.

So many of us subconsciously turn unfelt emotions into physical symptoms. This can often arise when our needs are not being made when the anxiety associated with these circumstances feels unbearable to the subconscious mind. When we “look toward the psychological”, as Dr. Sarno would say, we can heal these physical symptoms.

✨ Suppressing your emotional needs can put you into threat physiology.

✨ The physiology of our body is directly correlated to our emotions, cognitions, and beliefs.

✨ Our brain and nervous system relies on neuroception to determine whether we are safe or unsafe, and has the ability to turn on real physical pain or symptoms to protect us from psychological or emotional dangers in the absence of any tissue damage or structural pathology.

✨ When we suppress our emotional needs, our body has the ability to protect us with very real physical symptoms. It is very common to then get stuck in a chronic state of survival in the nervous system, where neuroplastic symptoms become chronic.

✨ The good news is that we can rewire the brain and nervous system by tending to our emotional needs, practicing feeling safe with emotions, integrating safety and regulation using the body, and discharging any emotional signatures where the subconscious mind has learned to have this false and distorted view that uncomfortable emotions are dangerous.

✨ Our physiology is always being impacted by our neuro-associations.

✨ The mind and body are literally one unit that is constantly responding to what our subconscious mind has made associations with.

✨ By harnessing our ability to make changes to this programming of the mind, we can influence the neural networks required in unlearning chronic neuroplastic pain or symptoms.

✨ Psychologically informed care is the best
treatment method for healing neuroplastic pain and symptoms.

✨ When we treat this type of chronic pain through a biomedical approach, we have dismal results. There is no underlying pathology behind symptoms that are a result of the nervous system being stuck in a prolonged stage of survival.

✨ Fortunately, we can decrease or even eliminate these symptoms when we use a targeted psychological approach that treats the human as a “whole” being.

✨ There is hope! You can heal!

✨ Changing your understanding of the problem can be the solution to healing your chronic pain or symptoms.

✨ 90% of chronic symptoms are caused by a disconnection in the Mindbody system, where a survival state in the nervous system attempts to protect us with very real physical symptoms. These symptoms are known as to be neuroplastic (learned by the brain) or also TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome)

✨ Fortunately, when we learn how to conceptualize pain differently, with a firm understanding that not all pain is structurally caused, we can rewire the brain to unlearn these symptoms.

✨ When we make the shift from treating pain and symptoms as a purely biomechanical or pathological issue to a biopsychosocial and Mindbody-informed issue, we can have tremendous success.

✨ You have nothing to lose and everything to gain when taking your health in your own hands, where knowledge truly is power in overcoming Mindbody symptoms. If I can do it, so can you!

✨ Stay focused and do not doubt the process, because this CAN work for YOU!

✨ Sending each and every one of you peace and ease. 💕

If you want to overcome any fear, you need one thing: exposure to the thing you’re afraid of. For example, if you want to overcome fear of public speaking, you need to give speeches. If you’re afraid of heights, you have to go up in tall buildings. If you’re scared of conflict, come to my parents’ house on Thanksgiving.

To overcome the fear of neuroplastic pain, you need exposure to the pain itself. Obviously, if you have chronic pain, you get plenty of that already, but what you need is a special kind of exposure. This is where somatic tracking comes in. By bringing your attention to the pain in a safe way, you’re getting the exposure you need to overcome fear and rewire your brain.

✨ When pain persists long after an injury has healed, this is what is known as Neuroplastic Pain.

✨ Not all pain is caused by something structural or biomechanical in the body, but all pain is very real and is always felt physically. Many people have a legitimate injury that over time seems to give them trouble. Logically, in our society we blame the pain on the site of the initial injury and say things like “maybe it didn’t heal right”, “maybe I didn’t do the right things when I injured it and now it’s worse”, “maybe the doctors missed something”, “maybe I reinjured it”, or “it’s my old sports injury”. These assumptions aren’t scientific… and in fact aren’t logical either. Why would injuries “heal properly” for some and not for others. Our species would be in serious trouble if this were the case. The body knows how to heal!

✨ Injuries heal within 3-6 months, but the neural pathways for pain can remain via the centres in the brain associated with memory and learning. Neuroscience research has proven via fMRI studies on the brain that most chronic pain is a psychophysiological response to a misfiring of danger neural circuits in the emotional centres of the brain. The pain is not imaginary or “in your head” - it is physiological and always a felt or somatic experience.

✨ Fortunately, this type of pain can be rewired and unlearned in the nervous system using a mindbody approach and Pain Reprocessing Therapy

✨ Belief in harm leads to harm.

✨ What do you believe as truth?

✨ When the brain believes the body is injured, or perceives an emotional or psychological threat, the brain produces pain as a protection.

✨ Even just the belief or perception that the body is injured, without actually even being injured, can cause real physiological changes via the brain nervous system. This is what as known as the Nocebo effect (opposite of placebo). We have many studies in the neuroscience literature to prove how this works, and also how we can heal using evidence-based mindbody strategies.

✨ We can heal neuroplastic pain and Mindbody symptoms simply by believing the truth - that this pain is not structurally caused, and we can address the emotional or psychological routes to literally rewire the brain and resolve the symptoms. We can tap into our own placebo!

✨ Adopting a recovery mindset is an essential component for healing neuroplastic symptoms. ✨

✨ The way you respond to your pain or symptoms is what transforms them.

✨ An exploration of your consciousness can heal
chronic pain or symptoms that are rooted in cognitive dissonance.

✨ Societal contagion and suggestibility can cause neuroplastic symptoms.

✨ We can free ourselves of this disillusionment because we do better when we know better.

✨ Doubt in your ability to heal can literally be the mechanism that is stalling your healing.

✨ Beliefs are thoughts that you have repeated.
Remind yourself that you can heal, and your belief can have a physiological impact.

✨ Unexpressed emotion is stored energy that can show up as a symptom in the body.

✨ Neuroplastic pain can show up as a cue to be more self compassionate.

While trying to recover from chronic pain, symptoms, or anxiety...are you coming from a place of intensity, or from a place of ease? Are you trying to *fix* something, or are you enjoying the day as much as you can?

Ultimately, if you can get to a place where you’re in a positive emotional state, the symptoms will eventually fade. But don’t focus too much on the symptom fading part, focus more on the positive emotional state part.

✨ Neuroplastic pain can show up as a cue to try not to worry so much.
