Episode #106- Extinction Bursts
Today’s topic is about part of the normal mind-body healing process- extinction bursts.
When you are starting to experience some success with healing, one thing that can commonly happen is a resurgence of pain in an old area or a completely new pain.
Dr Sarno called this the “symptom imperative.”
In “The Way Out” by Alan Gordon, they call it an extinction burst because of a study with a rat receiving food through a lever.
When the lever broke, the rate started pressing more urgently and quickly before the behavior of pressing the button extinguished.
If you have an extinction burst, there are 3 common stages 1- panic, 2- forcing it, and 3- oh this is how it works!
Listen to this episode for more, and trust the process- extinction bursts are a good thing because it means the signal will soon become extinct!

Episode #104-Predictive Coding
Thursday Oct 13, 2022
Thursday Oct 13, 2022
Predictive coding is like a brain's subconscious shortcut.
Predictive coding is the #1 reason for chronic pain symptoms. Especially for people who tell me they feel calm, but their pain is related to a movement, food, time of the month, etc.
I give you a few examples of how predictive coding works in our bodies to produce symptoms, and how it can be reversed! Be sure and listen to find out more.

Episode #101- Survival Brain
Wednesday Aug 17, 2022
Wednesday Aug 17, 2022
This episode is all about how your brain functions in survival mode, and how survival brain actually changes your thinking.
The idea from the podcast was from a clip on Youtube by Jacob Ham called "Learning Brain vs Survival Brain." So since it's back to school time, I thought about how these survival states even affect our ability to learn.
In survival brain you do not like ambiguities and are prone to black and white thinking. You have a hard time seeing another perspective and you are afraid to make mistakes.
In learning brain you are able to see the big picture, and accept nuances in thinking. There is more receptivity, creativity and ability to connect.
And learning brain is the parasympathetic/calm state which is the "rest and repair" state for your body- where it performs at ultimate health.
So check out this episode for more about detecting survival brain and how to get to the learning brain state more often!

Episode #100 - Coaching on Pain
Sunday Jul 31, 2022
Sunday Jul 31, 2022
In today’s episode I want to tell you about how I coach on healing chronic pain.
I merge PRT (Pain Reprocessing Therapy) with Life Coach tools and Nervous system regulation, for an amazing mix of learning and application into real life.
PRT teaches us to reframe and rewire the brain’s signals of pain, because pain signals are either amplified or decreased depending on how we react to them.
When the brain and nervous system do not interpret sensations in the body as dangerous, the brain produces less and less of them and chronic pain can be extinguished. (This is shown in the latest neuroscience research).
PRT tools include somatic tracking, detective for the opposite, graded exposure, and outcome independence. You can read more about them in detail in “The Way Out” by Alan Gordon, or listen to my Somatic Tracking and Graded Exposure Meditations on my previous Episodes.
The way I coach applies PRT tools by understanding your nervous system.
You can have all of the best tools, but if you are applying them in a way that puts you into a survival state, you add a lot of resistance to your healing.
I teach you to regulate your nervous system by finding those things that distract or feel fun. Finding calming thoughts or actions will help you get to the parasympathetic/calms state where your body can heal.
By learning to neutralize pain, process emotions, feel positive emotions on purpose, and read your body’s cues, you can become more embodied and intuitive.
You can use your body and your emotions to tune into your internal guidance system. This will help you make decisions and trust yourself.
If this approach is calling to you, I have amazing group options going on now! Check out Alignment Academy here:

Episode # 99- The Biology of Trauma with Dr Aimie Apigian
Wednesday Jul 13, 2022
Wednesday Jul 13, 2022
Today I have a special guest on the podcast, Dr Aimie Apigian.
Dr Aimie is a leading medical expert on how life experiences get stored in the body and how to restore the body to it's best health.
We talk about the chronic effects of trauma on the nervous system, and ultimately the health of the body.
Dr Aimie sees all chronic health conditions relating more to dysregulation of the nervous system, rather than genetics or other factors.
"The nervous system is what drives our health"
Listen in for how trauma is stored in the body, what types of health concerns are most common, and what to do to heal trauma from the somatic and biological approach.
If you want more information about bridging the biology and somatic work in trauma, be sure and register for the upcoming "Biology of Trauma Summit" Aug 8-14, 2022. It's free and online, and has an amazing panel of speakers!

Episode #98- What if It’s Not?
Wednesday Jun 29, 2022
Wednesday Jun 29, 2022
Here is a question that I heard a lot this weekend at the coaching retreat I went to- "What if it's not?"
The survival brain will want us to focus all of our energy on figuring out all of the bad things that could happen and to prevent them.
So it quickly forms habits of what foods or activities, physical things, or situations to avoid.
The Reticular Activiating System in our brain is designed to focus on only seeing things in the environment that fit our beliefs, and ignore what doesn't.
So by asking "what if it's not", it's like taking off the blinders you have been wearing that you think are keeping you safe.
If you want to move out of survival mode and in to purposeful living, healing, and creating, start asking more of the question, "What if it's not?"

Episode #97- Top 3 Things To Do if you have Chronic Pain
Sunday Jun 12, 2022
Sunday Jun 12, 2022
There's a lot of information out there if you have chronic pain!
So in this episode I wanted to simplify the three main concepts that I have found most important in getting out of chronic pain or disease.
1-Detective for the Opposite- This is the best place to start, by changing what you focus on
2-Understanding and Regulating the Nervous System- Notice when your body is in a survival state and develop a toolbox to use to regulate. The techniques can be top-down (thought based), or bottom-up (somatic).
3-Compassion- Self compassion in the process can be the most challenging, but necessary part.
Listen now for more details!
