Ep 62: From High Alert to Healing: Rethinking Neuroplastic Pain with Vanessa Blackstone

Vanessa Blackstone joins Laura Haraka to explore chronic pain, neuroplastic symptoms, and the role of nervous system safety in healing. Vanessa shares her personal story of migraines, pelvic pain, perfectionism, bracing, and learning to reconnect with her body through Pain Reprocessing Therapy. They discuss why symptoms are real, how survival strategies can keep the nervous system on high alert, and why healing requires compassion, consistency, and safety. Vanessa also shares her “dropping in” practice and the reminder: you are not as fragile as you fear you are.Connect with Vanessa Blackstone: http://www.painpsychologycenter.comConnect with Laura Haraka: https://www.feeltoheal.live/Join the Pelvic Healing Circle: https://www.feeltoheal.live/the-pelvic-healing-circle
