An Athlete’s Journey from Struggle to Resilience with Alec Kassin

When Alec Kassin shared his story of how chronic back pain almost stole his college years, it struck a chord with me, Dana Jones, your host of the Pain-Free Athlete Podcast. We weave a tale of struggle, introspection, and ultimately triumph as we unpack the complex relationship between chronic pain and the pivotal moments of life. Alec's insights into mind-body principles and Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) provide a roadmap not only for overcoming physical pain but also for understanding the psychological escape it can offer from life's relentless pressures. The conversation takes a hopeful turn as we discuss Dr. Sarno's revolutionary ideas, illustrating how addressing deep-seated emotional issues and fostering the mind-body connection are crucial in the journey to healing.Join us as we aim to empower others to rewrite their pain narratives and reclaim their athletic prowess.How to get in touch with Alec:Alec’s LinkedIn Alec’s WebsitePain Free Comeback WebsiteInstagramJohn Sarno Books:Healing Back PainThe MindBody PrescriptionMisc Mentions:Nicole SachsDJFE Triathlon Race SeriesPodcast Disclaimer:The Pain-Free Podcast is presented solely for general information, education, and entertainment purposes.
