Episode # 118- Pain is a Danger Signal
Wednesday Sep 20, 2023
Wednesday Sep 20, 2023
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.
Plus click below for my special PRT-based group if you have back or neck pain specifically.
This six month group will walk you through PRT concepts, the latest research on back and necks, and even individual coaching sessions for deeper somatic work- all for an amazing low price:

Episode #116- Emotional Self Connection with Molly Claire
Monday Jun 19, 2023
Monday Jun 19, 2023
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.

Episode # 114- Personality Traits and Chronic Pain
Friday May 05, 2023
Friday May 05, 2023
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.

Episode #113- How Skiing Helped My Back Pain
Tuesday Apr 04, 2023
Tuesday Apr 04, 2023
In this episode I tell you a real life story of my back pain and a flare I had this weekend.
Since chronic pain has more to do with fear and nervous system dysregulation, I decided skiing sounded like a nice thing to do when my back pain was uncomfortable.
Listen for how this counterintuitive approach helped me through the pain with less resistance and more curiosity.

Episode #112- How to Know if You’re in Freeze
Sunday Mar 26, 2023
Sunday Mar 26, 2023
In this episode I talk all about the nervous system state of freeze.
This is the nervous system state of shutdown when the system detects a mortal threat.
The nervous system chooses this state as the best option for your survival, so it is not a conscious choice.
Here is an example of what you may feel in freeze:
Feeling space, foggy, unable to think clearly, forgetting details, disoriented, forgetting where you’re going, losing track of time, continual exhaustion, numb, no energy, feeling overwhelmed, disconnection, feeling trapped, hopelessness, helplessness & shame.
If you identify with feeling these emotions, you are going in to freeze.
Listen in for more details about how to know you're in freeze and how it affects the body!

Episode #111- Pleasure on Purpose
Monday Mar 20, 2023
Monday Mar 20, 2023
In this episode, I talk about one of my favorite things to teach- having more rest, pleasure and fun in your life.
Most people with chronic pain are devoted, high achieving, hard working, people pleasing givers who have a hard time taking time for themselves.
But this concept is research based, and actually shows that when your pain or emotions are high the best thing to do is to distract rather than try to work through it and process.
We often think we should be working on healing all of the time, but sometimes our nervous system just needs a break, and avoidance behaviors can help you get more regulated.
So instead of meditating or journaling, you may watch a funny show or read a book (NOT about pain).
Then when you are regulated and your sensations are at a more manageable level, you can do the cognitive or emotional processing at that point.
When you do distracting activities with intent, they can be soothing for your nervous system.

Episode #110- Trauma and Post Traumatic Growth
Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
In this episode I define trauma in nervous system terms, so you can have a more compassionate view about the survival states and why you go into them.
Your nervous system is always trying to keep you safe and can get stuck in survival states from all different types of trauma.
All of us have had things that are more than our nervous system can handle, but some have not been able to process it because they have not had a compassionate witness.
Trauma can be processed and there can actually be more growth than would have been otherwise possible (post traumatic growth).

Episode #109- What is Somatic Coaching?
Wednesday Feb 01, 2023
Wednesday Feb 01, 2023
Today I talk all about somatic coaching- what it is, what it looks like, and who it can help.
Somatic means body, so somatic coaching uses perceptions and sensations and attention to the body in order to enhance the coaching experience.
Most therapy and coaching just involves talking, and using our conscious mind.
But about 95% of our thoughts are subconscious, so many of our behaviors and nervous system responses are not in our conscious awareness.
