Recently, I had a conversation with a friend. He asked me for my opinion on a pain he was experiencing, from what he describe it sounded EXACTLY like a pain that was caused by stress or old emotional baggage.
He said: "My pain isn't emotional, it is physical."
This is a belief that keeps so many people stuck in their pain, and in this episode, I am going to share with you a checklist so you can determine if your pain has a physical cause or it has an emotional cause.
There are 7 key points that differentiate between a physical cause and an emotional cause.
1. The injury is taking longer to heal than expected
2. NOTHING has helped, or you need regular treatment to keep the pain at bay
4. Your pain regularly flares up in a similar pattern
4. You experience more pain in the morning, evening, or when you are relaxed.
5. After stressful events/times you get more symptoms
6. You devalue yourself and are very hard on yourself.
7. Doctors and other healthcare experts are confused as to why you are still in pain.
If you answered YES to 1 or more of these questions, it is almost certain that your pain has a mental/emotional cause.
I am here to tell you, that the healthcare system is so OUTDATED and broken when it comes to helping people in pain. Sure it is fantastic for Trauma stuff, but when it comes to chronic conditions it is missing the mark. And the reason it is missing the mark is because emotional baggage and stress is completely ignored.
So unless you are dealing with the root emotional cause of your pain, nothing will change which is why so many people stay stuck in pain.
Cheers,
Jake
