Episode #121- Tree Meditation for Calming Anxiety

Anxiety may be a familiar state for you - whether you have chronic pain or not.
Anxiety is the nervous system state of "Flight". We are often not running from a tiger, but we are running to do more, scan for danger, and fix problems.
Anxiety is uncomfortable in the body, and prompts action- doing or thinking constantly to feel better.
The solution to unlearning anxiety and teaching the brain not to go into anxious habits is to go INTO the sensation instead of trying to avoid it.
This tree meditation will help you explore the sensations of anxiety neutrally, so you can help them pass and train your brain to produce them less.

Episode #130- Deactivate Your Triggers
This episode includes a 6 minute technique you can do to deactivate your triggers. My coach who studies hypnotherapy taught me this somatic hack to decrease the intense feelings of a trigger. It is not to ignore the trigger or brush it under a rug, but to make it more emotionally manageable so it can be processed and let go. Think of something that triggers you, and try the process along with me in this episode. Best if you can sit or lay down with your eyes closed.

Episode #128- Chronic Knee Pain Success Story with Tai- Letting Go of Intensity
In this episode, I interview Tai Kuncio.
She is a fellow moderator in the "Tell Me About Your Pain" Facebook Group. (https://www.facebook.com/groups/695823314550483)
Tai had various pains starting in childhood, which they attributed to being athletic. But she struggled the most with chronic knee pain.
At one point after knee surgery, she was doing physical therapy 4 to 5 hours per day and still not getting better.
It wasn’t her weakness or muscle dysfunction, but her fear that was driving her pain.
Finally when she moved across the world to Africa and gave up the intensity with what she was trying to heal, she embraced the mind-body approach.
She no longer struggles with chronic daily pain, and when symptoms come up she knows how to handle them so they don’t stick around long.
Listen for her inspirational story and what she learned about letting go of the intensity to heal.

Episode # 127- Unlearning Anxiety with Lucas
This week I share an interview with my client, Lucas. He struggled with several years of anxiety that was getting worse and more debilitating with time. At times it was even difficult for him to go to the store or to lunch with a friend without worrying, "what if I get an anxiety attack?"
After 3 months of somatic coaching with me, Lucas felt like he had found the missing piece. He had already tried meditation, breathing, yoga, acupuncture- all the "right" things to decrease the anxiety in his life.
But this approach taught him the tools he needed to actually unlearn the anxiety- so his brain produced it less and less.

Episode #126- Healing Years of Pain & Symptoms with Kristina, Stacey and Callie
In this episode, I interview 3 women with amazing healing stories. We all met as Moderators for the "Tell Me About Your Pain" Facebook group created by Alan Gordon.
Kristina has a list of symptoms that were healed with the mind-body approach. Including anxiety, eating disorders, depression, hypothyoroidism, adrenal fatigue, POTS, leaky gut, histamine intolerance, insomnia, adrenal insufficiency, and hashimotos. Stacey suffered for 18 years with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, IBS, Lyme disease, insomnia, body pains, and pelvic pain.
Callie had anxiety, insomnia, fainting, and neck pain, which she found out was a congenital neck fusion with “creative wiring in her neck”. She was told if she moved her neck wrong and she could be paralyzed, so she had medical trauma and increased fear. Her pain spread through the left side of her body and she began to have joint instability (ankle sprains, knee dislocation, hip popping). She was diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, migraines, chronic fatigue, unexplained rashes, acne, and had pelvic pain with sitting. Listen for more about their healing journeys- what they found most helpful and advice they would give others when doing this work. You can find more about Kristina and Stacey's group coaching here: www.christianbrainrewire.com And Kristina's email is www.kristinacarlton.com Stacey has a free "Stretch and Breathe Nervous System Regulation Class" https://www.wholisticallyrenewed.com/fitness And Callie's contact info is [email protected] or on her facebook page https://www.facebook.com/people/Brain-First-Chronic-Pain-Coaching/61555738854975/?mibextid=LQQJ4d
