65: The Power of Healing: Embracing a New Mindset for Accepting Living with Pelvic Organ Prolapse.

Introduction (00:00:00 - 00:01:38)

Welcome to this episode where we discuss the possibility of healing prolapse naturally. I invite you to approach this conversation with an open mind. I want to share my thoughts and experiences, and I hope you find them helpful. 

Storytime (00:01:38 - 00:03:52)

I want to start by sharing a personal story about a mindset shift that occurred during a family vacation. I didn't expect it to happen, but I observed that my prolapse symptoms were less evident when I was on vacation. This experience left me feeling unsure about the power of the mind and raised more questions than answers.

Healing vs. Fixing (00:03:52 - 00:06:15)

During this episode, I want to explain the difference between fixing and healing prolapse. Fixing prolapse involves reversing the symptoms and returning to the way things were before prolapse. In contrast, healing prolapse involves accepting the situation, understanding it, and feeling okay despite the physical symptoms. I encourage you to adopt a healing mindset and embrace the journey.

The Healing Spectrum (00:06:15 - 00:08:05)

Now, let's talk about the healing spectrum and how it relates to prolapse. At one end of the spectrum, fixing prolapse involves surgery or using a pessary. At the other end of the spectrum, healing prolapse involves accepting the situation and working with it. It's important to note that everyone's journey is different, and it's essential to find what works best for you.

Next week on the show we will be continuing this healing conversation by speaking with two experts in this POP space.
