Anxiety is a symptom that goes hand in hand with chronic pain and disease.
In this episode I talk about what anxiety is, how it affects the body, why it's so common, and how to unlearn it!
I give an example from my own life, and some techniques you can use to teach your brain to produce anxiety less and less.

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.

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.

Did you know play and fun may be the missing piece to your healing?
Our society tells us we must work hard to get what we want, and we may discredit things that seem too easy.
But there are many scientific benefits of play.
We can learn faster (It takes only 10-40 repetitions in play, vs 400 repetitions).
Play, happiness or joy release endorphins (pain relieving qualities).
Play improves brain function, flexible thinking, improves memory and stimulates growth of the cerebral cortex.
Play is restorative- and it is the opposite of the fear-based survival states.
But if you’re not used to playing and find it hard, you can grow your capacity to be in the “rest and repair state”.
Listen in for more explanations of play as medicine, and how you can start to add more play to your life!

One habit that leads to the perpetuation of chronic pain is being in high alert.
Do you often go to the worst case scenario? Do you habitually worry? When you don't have pain are you thinking about when the pain may return?
These are signs you are living in high alert, and making your pain worse.
When the brain is in a high alert, fear based state, then it can percieve normal signals in the body as dangerous and produce pain.
High alert can be reinforced by technology, facing uncertainty, or feeling trapped.
Listen in for more details about the high alert state and how we can rewire those neural pathways to ones of safety, calm, peace and freedom.

New pain science teaches something different than what I learned in Physical Therapy school 20 years ago.
Pain is not directly related to the amount of injury present in the body.
Pain does not indicate tissue damage, but rather pain is a danger signal.
Research into chronic pain shows the brain actually processes it differently once it’s lasted past 3-6 months.
There are 44 areas of the brain associated with chronic pain, and the main one is the center of learning and memory.
Just as pain can become learned, it can become unlearned - through pain Reprocessing therapy (PRT)
Listen for more info and research about how pain is a dangerous signal, and how it can be unlearned by PRT.

I'm excited to share this episode with a special guest- Life Coach and Host of "The Masterful Coach Podcast", Molly Claire
When she agreed to be on my podcast, I had no idea how much our work has in common.
Molly helps women in coaching, motherhood and family life become more self connected and empowered.
Like this work, she helps her clients reach a state of greater well being.
I didn't even know that Molly had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which brought her to realize she needed to change some things within her.
She learned connection with herself, and how to stop the cycle of overgiving. And now she no longer suffers with CFS.
Listen until the end, where Molly teaches a tip for emotional self connection that is so simple and easy to practice.

Did you know your personality traits are a predictor for whether you will have chronic pain or mindbody symptoms?
Traits like perfectionism, people pleasing, and wanting to be liked keep the nervous system in dysregulated states and wreak havoc on the body.
For me, my personality traits were the biggest thing keeping me dysregulated and in a state of dis-ease before I found this work.
