Join the gratitude club for free 😊 Patreon.com/tolclubWhen pain refuses to go away, many of us start to believe we're permanently broken. That was my story too. I used to suffer from chronic daily migraines that were basically life ruining.I recovered in part through the mind-body approach pioneered by Dr. John Sarno, which sees chronic pain as a nervous system signal that can be changed. It changed my life, and it has changed the lives of thousands of Dr. Tovah Goldfine's patients. For over 40 years, she has helped people understand and overcome chronic pain from a physical, physiological, and psychological perspective. She’s pretty cool.https://www.drtovah.com/Sick of being ruled by your emotions?Join our Patreon for AD-FREE listening, bonus episodes, and mindfulness exercises that are actually fun: patreon.com/TOLclubWant to learn how to meditate?
