Episode #122- Pain When Things Are Good

Pain when things are good is a phenomenon I see when people are unlearning pain and learning to regulate their nervous systems.
When you're used to being in high alert, then letting your guard down and feeling safe can actually seem dangerous.
We can expand our ability to stay in the "rest and repair state" longer, but some people have learned resting is "lazy" or having fun is "selfish".
Watch for this in yourself- if your symptoms come in a time of more calm or peace, don't worry!
This is actually a sign your nervous system is EXPANDING.
The rest and repair state can become more normal for you than survival mode, but the nervous system has to go through growth to get there.

Episode # 131- Life After 30 Years of Chronic Pain- with Renee
Today I interviewed Renee Kammer, who has an amazing healing story. From 30 years of chronic pain and 5 years being bed bound, to now hiking, biking, and gardening. Renee had several diagnoses, including:
Stiff person’s syndrome, Ulcerative colitis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Ankylosing spondylitis, Fibromyalgia, Headaches, Migraines, Back pain, Hip pain, Anxiety, Depression, Pelvic pain/ IC, Chronic fatigue, Chest pain and High blood pressure.
Renee joined Alignment Academy and went through all of the exercises in Dr Schubiner's workbook to unlearn her pain.
She got off 14 medications in the last year, and has been feeling better and better!
She now has more joy and hope in her life, and is even starting a baking business with her new found time and energy. Listen here for Renee's story.

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.
