What if the key to your chronic pain lies not in your body, but in your brain? Join us as we explore the daunting yet transformative concept of neuroplastic pain. We'll uncover why the shift from relying on medical experts to embracing selfhealing can feel overwhelming, and how the lack of acknowledgment from the medical community compounds this struggle. We also tackle the emotional weight of selfblame for not recognizing the neuroplastic nature of pain sooner. Through shared experiences and expert guidance, we aim to demystify this complex journey and offer you the reassurance you need.

Grief often accompanies the path to healing, especially when transitioning to a mindbody approach. We delve into how the initial sessions of brain and nervous system retraining can lead to reduced symptoms and a renewed zest for life, but also trigger profound grief over lost time and opportunities. Understanding that this emotional phase is a normal and essential part of recovery is crucial. Our discussion aims to provide you with the support and insight needed to navigate these feelings, helping you move towards a hopeful and lighter stage of your healing journey. Join us as we guide you through this intricate and emotional terrain.

This podcast is produced by Alex Klassen, who is one of the wonderful therapists at Pain Psychotherapy Canada.
