Episode 5: Painkillers and Mind-Body Healing

There’s a lot of debate in the mind-body healing community about whether or not to take painkillers for a chronic pain flare-up. But at the end of the day, it’s a choice that we each have to determine for ourselves. Today I’m going to share the approach that’s worked for me in my own recovery journey. And just a disclaimer, what I’m about to share is not meant to be taken as medical advice — it’s simply an honest account of my story and how developing self-trust has been key to my healing. For a complete transcript, go here: https://medika.life/an-honest-account-of-my-relationship-with-painkillers/ Also, I want to tell you about pilot program that I’m running called the Chronic Pain to Passion Mentorship. It’s been quite a while since I’ve opened up my practice to new individual coaching clients, and this is an opportunity to work with me 1:1. I’m offering a small handful of these mentorship spots, and one of them could be for you if you are a creative person who struggles with stress-related symptoms. And if you have a passion project that you’re working and that you’re longing to devote more energy to, but symptoms keep getting in the way. If that’s you, I would love to chat and see if we’re a good fit to work together.
