"When You Get To the Root You Can Pull Out the Weeds"
Did you know that chronic pain is often just your brain’s opinion? By understanding our subconscious internal messaging related to pain, we are actually able to BREAK ITS CYCLE! It’s all based in neuroscience…
Today’s conversation is a total game changer. I speak with Dr. Deepak Ravindran, the UK’s leading pain consultant, trauma informed medical specialist, neuroscientist and best- selling author ofThe Pain Free Mindset.
Dr. Ravindran explains the chronic pain cycle loop and how to break it - step by step. After 20+years of my own chronic pain battle, I implemented what I learned from Dr. Ravindran. The awareness of my fear based thoughts and messaging in moments of pain and a newfound understanding of where it was coming from and how to reframe it, has helped to heal. I am free and I can hardly believe it myself!
In today’s episode, we discuss:
- How mindset & thoughts can create the release of natural opioids giving us access to the most potent internal pharmacy
- Flare-ups: understanding the crucial role of stress and anxiety in pain & flare-ups (due to the release of cortisol and its effect on our bodily systems), and how to recover!
- The “Backpack” of tools that help stop or minimize pain
- Pain response is perceived danger not damage - hurt doesn’t always equal harm
- Curiosity and self awareness are key
- Healing takes time - we are creating new neural pathways in our brain!
