In this powerful and thought-provoking episode, I am joined by celebrated author, educator, and Licensed Massage Therapist Jodi Scholes to explore the profound connection between pain, trauma, and healing. With over 30 years of experience and over 22,000 massage sessions completed, Jodi Scholes brings unique insights from her book, Body Blueprint: How Your Pain May Be Telling a Story, which examines how mental and emotional stress can significantly influence physical pain.
The conversation dives into the biopsychosocial model of pain, uncovering how trauma and unintegrated memories manifest in the body, as highlighted through compelling client stories. Together, we discuss the limitations of traditional medicine's quick-fix approach and emphasize the importance of addressing the deeper root causes of pain. We share practical insights on listening to your body's messages, honoring your healing journey, and embracing the mind-body connection.
This episode is an invitation to shift your perspective on pain, explore the stories your body is telling, and connect with others who are on similar journeys of overcoming trauma and persistent pain.
