Episode #89- Teaching Your Brain it’s Safe- Interview with Dan Buglio

In this episode, I interview Dan Buglio from “Pain Free You”.  He has been doing daily YouTube videos about becoming pain free for almost 3 years, and has over a million views!

He explains chronic pain as “Perceived Danger" pain.  The danger isn't real, but the brain PERCEIVES it is, and amplifies or produces pain.  Chronic pain is not a sign or true danger, but an issue of misinformation/ bad data.

 

"If danger is what is feeding this, safety is the solution."  We talk all about what this means and how to do it!

 

Here are some highlights from our discussion:

 

8:49- Your Brain’s primary job is safety and survival  

11:33- What if you don’t yet 100% believe?

13:05- How to teach your brain you are really OK

16:08- Symptom imperatives like anxiety, insomnia

20:26- Principles to reduce pain- Knowledge, Acceptance, Teach Brain it’s Safe

27:22- Don’t believe your thoughts

32:19- Do you push through the pain?

41:38- Insomnia

43:49 Coughing up the phlegm analogy

45:50 Survival states and calming
