Recovery from Pain and Lost Ability with Tom Dykstra

What if the nerves in your fingers shot pain from guitar strings, removing your ability to perform? For Tom Dykstra, guitar was his “fastball,” a central core of his identity, and his professional equipment to lead worship.  When he suddenly experienced shooting nerve pain in his fingers, all of that changed, and he needed to reimagine himself and his life without playing guitar.  Chronic pain and loss of ability of activities that bring us joy and/or income are devastating to those who experience them.  But as Tom eventually learned … 15 years later … recovery and healing ARE possible when we understand our situation, align our Mind, Body and Spirit, and believe that we can heal.
