203 - Is Your Brain Causing You Pain? A Mind-Body Approach to Chronic Pain, Anxiety, and Depression with Christie Uipi

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic pain, anxiety, or depression, you probably know how frustrating it can be when you’re experiencing real pain and symptoms, but the doctors tell you that your labs are all within “normal” range.   Mainstream medicine is only beginning to recognize the powerful role of the brain in the development of chronic pain, anxiety, and depression, but decades of research and clinical experience have demonstrated its pivotal role in recovery.     In today’s episode, we’re joined by Christie Uipi, a psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. Christie is the founder of The Better Mind Center and a key collaborator on the development and research of the Pain Reprocessing Therapy treatment modality.   If you’ve experienced the gap between research and practice that has left you cycling through traditional symptom-management treatments that don’t bring relief, this episode is for you.     As a recovering pain patient herself, Christie is passionate about the field of mind-body medicine, and committed to changing the way that chronic pain, anxiety, and depression are traditionally treated and understood.   Three things you’ll learn in this episode: The mind-body approach to healing anxiety and chronic pain Personality traits that may indicate a dysregulated nervous system How trauma and nervous system dysregulation can increase chronic pain & anxiety   To connect with Christie, head to: Instagram: @better.with.christie Website: https://bettermindcenter.com/ The Way Out Book     TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ!   ASK MICHELLE A QUESTION!   REGULATION RESOURCES   BOOK A FREE 30-MINUTE CALL WITH MICHELLE   FB COMMUNITY: The Calm Mom Collective   JOIN ME ON INSTAGRAM: @michellegrosser.coach   “I love The Calm Mom Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Then be sure to let me know what you loved most about the episode!--🧠 What's your capacity pattern? Take the free 2-minute quiz and unlock The Capacity Code — a personalized private podcast episode for your specific nervous system. → Take the Capacity Pattern Quiz
