Subtitled: The Power of Reframing In this episode, I dive into the power of reframing thoughts to alleviate chronic pain, particularly in fibromyalgia. Chronic pain originates in the brain's perception of threat, triggering a stress response. By learning to challenge and rewrite unhelpful beliefs, we can foster a sense of safety and improve our overall well-being. What You'll Learn: Why the brain matters in chronic pain: Chronic pain often stems from the brain’s perception of a threat, even when there’s no physical danger. A transformative case study: Meet Mary, a 70-year-old with severe knee osteoarthritis. Together, we worked to reframe her belief that sitting down made her unproductive. Embracing a new thought—that rest could be valuable and creative—helped her improve her mood, pain, and productivity. The power of belief: It’s not just about coming up with new thoughts; it’s about believing them and taking new actions from that belief. Insights from science: Drawing on Bruce Lipton's Biology of Belief, I explore how our thoughts act like the “medium” in which our cells thrive or fail.

Break ups generally suck, for many reasons. But one of the main reasons is that they cause us a lot of pain. And emotional pain is very closely related to physical pain. In this episode i am sharing new thoughts that helped me overcome the crushing pain of my most recent break up.

My patients often ask me: How do I know whether what I feel is my old fibromyalgia or something new and serious? in this episode I share my own recent experience after developing new symptoms of numbness tingling in R hand and R foot, how it freaked me out and what helped me feel better. The story is still evolving :-)
